I'm not good at it. Of In fact most of the time I say many things that later do not. For the same reason I write with some degree of inconsistency, but with a great desire to live in a different way the gospel.
little while back ago, a man came to the microphone to talk about rehab. He was raising funds to support the center through the sale of pencils. He talked a long time about Jesus and the importance of forgiving seventy times seven (in fact many times repeated that) and to love our enemies. In the end, I bought a pencil because it seemed sensible speech and motivation of their sales ... but at some point, climbed another vendor who apparently did not get along. There was an exchange of words and the man promoted the rehabilitation center face hits the other vendor and gives him a strong kick. He took some blood. After that said, "To hell should not give ... should not take it" (something he said, justifying his actions).
I felt sad and angry. For a moment I did not have bought that pen. Finally I gave. We can not justify the harm to others in any way and if we say we must forgive, we must also bear the insults and accusations of others. Although it seems an attitude of "poor character" is always good to wait before responding to a offense with another offense, or an insult with another insult. In fact, I think it needs more character to control our emotions in order to go and claim our rights at the expense of putting others down. I do not mean you always have to keep quiet, but there are ways and forms, and attitudes and attitudes.
All we have had to be inconsequential and therefore is a daily challenge. And I do a lot of emphasis on the latter, because every day we build our lives. Sometimes hope and glorious future breakthroughs in our lives for years after, but we do not "click" that is "today" when pave that road. The problem is not being inconsistent, if not not recognize it. God loves the repentant heart and shows you his secrets ... so I encourage you each day to challenge themselves with the help of the Holy Spirit. It is not about being perfect on the grounds that "we must please the Lord." I would say that we should live life the opposite of that: "Since you are so nice and act the way we act" and not vice versa. We live by grace and not out of obligation ... never forget that.
that day that this man hit the other, people around Altira said: "And speaking of God ... Our actions preach louder than words at this time. The challenge is to "be" and then "do" and not vice versa. For this we are not alone, because it is God who helps us to be faithful.
