It’s easy to mock and be critical, and unfortunately, our human nature loves to judge unfairly and display negative thoughts about others. If we could only remember that many people are going through some type of painful trial which usually explains why they seem peculiar. I often counsel those who are struggling with personal problems, and it changes our perspective when we know the bigger picture. As Christians, we are called to be a light that represents God’s nature, and this includes forbearance, understanding, and compassion. This is so that everyone can see Christ, and hopefully, we will inspire them to learn more about who He is. When we act ugly and rude, we are actually turning others away from the message of grace and love that we proclaim what the lost world desperately needs. Whether you’ve noticed it or not, those around us are carefully observing us, which is having a direct impact on what they think about God and who we are. Every day we have opportunities to do what Jesus would do.
