I have been hearing so much about total rejection of faith because of the poor example set by judgmental, unloving Christians, and it makes me so sad. We have a calling to share God's Light and Love, not to scare people away by making them feel unwanted and unloved!We are the BODY of Christ, the HANDS and the FEET. It is so clear to me. Like here... If We Are the Body It's crowded in worship today As she slips in Trying to fade into the faces The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know But if we are the Body Why aren't His arms reaching? Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching? And if we are the Body Why aren't His feet going? Why is His love not showing them there is a way There is a way A traveler is far away from home He sheds his coat And quietly sinks into the back row The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances Are better out on the road Jesus paid much too high a price For us to pick and choose who should come And we are the Body of Christ And here... "Two guys are talking to each other, and one of them says he has a question for God. He wants to ask why God allows all of the poverty and war and suffering to exist in the world. And his friend says, "Well, why don't you ask?" The fellow shakes his head and says he is scared. When his friend asks why, he mutters, "I'm scared God will ask me the same question." Over and over, when I ask God why all these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, "You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands and my feet."
