Looking back on my post from last night, I realize I sounded quite bitter. I sounded upset. Well, I'm not. The truth is, I just felt sad. I look around at all of the amazing resources and people in my church and community and I just want everyone to grow in Christ to their full potential. I look at myself and I see someone doing the bare minimum (but still doing a lot of talking). And I just feel like too often we fall short and take the easy way out, we avoid personal interaction and discussing the difficult topics. I want us to feel comfortable supporting and loving one another.
I speak out of love, because I know through Christ we can do more. I have hope, lots of hope, and I am excited for the future.
"1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load." Galatians 6:1-5

I didn't think bitter. But I definitely thought passionate.
