Walk Your Talk - Daily Inspiration

There is nothing that annoys me more than when judgmental people intentionally hurt others feelings just to justify their own position on things. That is not nice, people! Coming down on others with your Debbie Downer attitude is not okay.

And where do I see this type of attitude the most... in the Christian community. These are the people who should know better. These are the people who should do unto others as they would have others do unto them. I don't know if they truly believe that since they are "saved" that they can put people down, hurt their feelings, snub their friendships, blast their music and do whatever the heck they want to do in the name of their Lord.

And sometimes Catholics are worse than the rest. Aren't most of the organized crime people some sort of hard-nosed Catholic? These are the people who kill others, put out hits, do all sorts of bad things and then they go to church and confess in the "booth." Then suddenly everything is all right with the world.

I love going to church. I love singing my joyous songs to the Lord, don't get me wrong. But I have seen a contingent of merely ten people almost cripple a church, rock them to their rafters with so much crap that I wonder if these are really Christian people we're dealing with.

If you've had to deal with stuff like this, I'm praying for you right now. God is in control of it all. I pray that he lifts you up, gives you strength and puts a fire into your belly for the really great things that are still alive in the church.

If you have some Debbie Downers in your life, in your congregation, don't give them power. Tune them out, do whatever it is you have to do to bring the strength back to yourself. Tell them that they need to start walking their talk like Jesus and their stinky attitude is not appreciated in the house of the Lord.

I'm not sure where this rant came from. I have no reason to rant. I'm not mad at anyone currently. I guess I was just led to do it.

So, today, my prayer for you is to walk your talk. Don't be a Debbie Downer. Be a Sally Smiles or a Hugh Happy Face. Think about your words today. Don't be too harsh with criticism. And if you accidently bark a bit too much, tell the other person you're sorry.

Have a great day.

Blessings.
