The Sad truth of the matter is every single one of my blogs is about people. Lots and lots of people. Are you the center of it? No. Sorry for that but no you are not. I take a lot of time to think through the things I write and how they will effect those around me. Will the things I say touch a nerve? Will I offend? And will I touch a nerve or offend for the right or wrong reasons? For a second or two this week I contemplated apologizing for the things I have said on my last blog. I even went as far as deleting it. But I'm back and I'm here standing firm in my right to freedom of speech and the fact that yes, sometimes, the things that I say are going to step on peoples toes. Buttercup you need to suck it up and realize everything in life is not perfect and not everything can be sugar coated. Truth hurts! I cannot and will not apologize for my honesty. I also will never apologize for what I believe is right. I will however apologize when I am wrong and baby that happens quite often, I'm human and God is STILL working on me! I got a few responses this week over my past blog and blogs before that one. My honesty level and how I come across. Maybe we all don't believe the same things. Maybe I'm harsh. Maybe I'm writing just about one person (and yet I've had comments from a few people), is it about me??!! This is my blog. My thoughts and my interpretation of what I go through daily and what I observe. It's also about what I believe in my walk with God, how I've interpreted His word. I'm not here to battle you. I wont argue with you either. If something has touch a nerve thats between you and God or simply just for you to learn how to handle asking yourself why, why has that just touched a nerve. Lots of people make there way into my blog. I never share names or make something just about one person. Please don't take it personal unless there's a reason for it. Most people appreciate my honesty and know that this is who I am. I'm not out to hurt anyone or offend.
I also want to touch base on something in my last blog....Accountability and Judging. As a believer I do NOT think there's a difference. I also believe and stand firm to I have a right to hold another believer accountable and place judgement on them for their actions. If I'm doing wrong, I wanna know about it, I wanna have the opportunity to fix it. I wanna make it right! I'm the type of person who has no problem asking for forgiveness or giving it. However, If you point out anothers flaws and don't want to forgive or move past it....why are you doing it? We are to do everything in love. We are never to do it with a oh holier then thou attitude. Everyone makes mistakes. We have no right to constantly jump on people. But if someone is living wrong and continuing to trip on the same thing aren't we as brothers and sisters in Christ suppose to point it out and help them try to make it right?
Just a few verses:
Prov 27:17
Gal 6:1-2
Matt 18:15-17
Eph 4:25
James 5:19-20
Another thing. When I say and refer to "believers" I'm referring to those who have made a personal decision between them and God. They believe that Christ died for our sins. Through Him and Him alone can we get to heaven. Only God can make that possible and nothing more. We have done nothing to deserve this but Christ loves us enough that he has paid for our sins on the cross. I firmly believe this decision can never go away. I also believe in making this decision, it changes our hearts and our desires....or should.
