Saw an old friend today at McDonalds. When she saw me coming she got up from her table and walked across the room to avoid me. This hurt deeply, but it got me to thinking about something we Christians should consider.
Too much "loose" judgement going on inside the Body of Christ. Damaging words are spoken without thinking and above all, people are wanting to hear the juicy past of a person. What should we do when confronted with someone who treats you like this? Is she saved? Yes, she is. So, what's the problem? She has something against me and I know not what it is! If she will not come to me then I must go to her and try my best to resolve the problem. If we have something against a brother or sister we should examine this:
New International Version (NIV)
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar
and there remember that your brother or sister has something against
you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the
altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your
gift."
