I was thinking this very thing just yesterday. In fact, our church just lost its pastor and on Wednesday we had an excellent study on the commands of God to the church--how we should treat each other. We so often react with a ME attitude instead of dying to self as we are commanded to do. It "ain't" easy! You go, girl. I was thinking this very thing just yesterday.

I know plenty of people who have been burnt by the church. I'm one of them. If I walked away from every situation where I got burnt and threw everyone in it in the same basket, I'd have no friends, no family, no church. People make mistakes and we're called to forgiveness. Great thoughts. Amen! I know plenty of people who have been burnt by the church. I’m one of them.

It's like "Man up!", you know? I mean how are you ever going to serve the Lord and minister to people, without having your feelings hurt? Thanks for the comments...:) Sonya,

Many of us (Christians) seem to have very thin skin when it comes to dealing with other people. And, as someone who has been offended and done my share of offending, it comes down to this: I serve God. And God requires that I minister to His people. And I know that He will give me what I need to be able to do that. Period. Truly we need to pray for those that offend us. I do that a lot (and hope people are doing that for me) and it makes a HUGE difference. It's really, really hard to stay mad at someone whose life you are sowing into. Who is part of your prayer life. And, as you pray for other people, you will feel God move within you (and hopefully within that other person) to bring resolution and, if not that, then at least peace. And so it goes....
