Is it your time?

There are a lot of things in life that we all have issues with. I have lots, so I know. But I often think people's pride gets in the way of admitting they're wrong....in any problem, whether you think you're any part of it or not, always remembering you're always at least 10% of the problem. It is never 100% one person's problem.

I see fights, arguments, and people just blowing up at others... family, friends, co-workers... all the time. Why? So many times it's just the smallest thing, and it would have all been worked out, if only we'd have had a small amount of patience with that person. Are we so impatient, and angry with and at everyone, that we don't even TRY to be kind? We tell other people when witnessing, when you're raising your children, we TELL THEM, to be Christ like. Tell me this, did Christ EVER lose His patience with people, was He EVER unkind, selfish...?

If we're to be Christ like, then why do we do all these UN Christ like things? Why do we have the shortest tempers in history. Is it because people have just quit trying? It really seems to be. And it's sad. Everyone thinks they're 100% right. THEY deserve the ______ now, because you've had it long enough. THEY want to choose the movie/meal/activity. Since when has God EVER, EVER been pleased by that? I think people have become calloused to the fact that God watches their every move. Is right beside them in fights, blow ups, unkindness, lack of patience, frustration.

When are we going to ACT like we know Christ is with us 24/7/365? We say we believe it, but we don't SHOW it. Acting different at church and at home, is the same as acting one way when you're talking with God, reading His word, etc...and just going to play a game with your family.

When are we going to make the decision to make the right choices? They are there for the taking...we just have to take that humble step to get to them.
