Speaking the truth

Greetings:
It's time this morning to speak the truth in a manner that offers no difficult interpretation.
I am speaking to myself as much as I am offering some advice to all Christian brothers and sisters.
There will be people that seem to rub us the wrong way no matter what. Some of these people even go to our churches.
There are some people that seem to bring out the worst in your feelings, thoughts and sometimes, even your actions.
Here's the truth my friends.
There is no perfect church.
There is no perfect pastor.
There is no perfect job.
There is no perfect family.
No one walking this earth is perfect.
There is only a perfect Savior of imperfect people - Jesus Christ. None of us are perfect and have it perfectly together all of the time.
We all make mistakes. We all say the wrong things at the wrong times. We all lack the perfection of God, His Son, , nd the Holy Spirit.
Let us learn to be more tolerant and focus on that which is good, rather than the imperfections in others.
Love is always the answer. Grace is always the answer. Truth is always the answer. Forgiveness is always the answer. Mercy is always the answer.
Learn to overlook those you perceive to have imperfections and shortcomings and love them anyway.
Is it easy? Nope, but nothing easy has been promised to us.
Here's another truth nugget, they are probably thinking the same things about you.
Be blessed.
