1 John

Sometimes I think I walk in the light but what do my actions say? Do I embody the love I want to project? Do I turn away from the world and keep my eyes on the Lord? My brothers and sisters in christ that I should be in fellowship with, I harbor ugly thoughts and feelings against them. My critiques of the church and of other believers may build resentment and disdain towards the body of Christ. When to state the truth of where they fall short and whether I am being used as an instrument for that I do not know. I leave it to you Lord to examine me and challenge my ways. Keep me in truth, keep me in your love, otherwise my soul will be left alone in the darkness too blinded to see the error of my ways.
