Only Human--LOL ?????

This has been a day to think about “back in the day”. I remember going to church and knowing that the pastor was a “called” man of God. We had good preaching, teaching and a very genuine “Shepard” of the flock leading us. I know there are still a lot of called and faithful servants of God in my midst. It’s the ones that appear to be in their fields for only the money, fame or just a career.. We seem to excuse away anything these people do by saying they are only human. True as that is we still know we need to apologize sometimes. I don’t mean a phrase like “I’m sorry you are … I mean-- I am sorry I… which is a true apology. If we claim to be in a ministry then of course we are going to be watched more closely. Is that fair? I don’t know but I do know God will give His called servant the portion of kindness and patience they need to fulfill what He has called them to do.

I am troubled today as I have witnessed a rather ugly side of someone in the ministry that I have loved, encouraged and supported the past few years. You see I do not think LOL excuses everything. Nor do I think “we are only human” is the answer either. I could quote scripture but anyone reading this already knows what the scripture says.

I will work through this with God by my side.

I have found much encouragement from my true friends and I am thankful for you all.
God bless
