well thats rude

Rudeness, insults, negativity, slander etc... 

You intended hostility, hate and rudeness, of which I didn't deserve. But, regardless, I can control my behavior & response to what you say. 

A Christian seeks to help others, come along side then and reason with them thru the Scriptures, (and God's creation/created world around us that can be seen and known. 

Showing patience and extending kindness may sound easy and appealing, but in moments of hurt or frustration they can be some of the last things a person wants to do. But this Christian will do it. Colossians 3:12 reiterates the importance of choosing to be patient and kind: “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”

1 Peter 3
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their fear, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet *with gentleness* and fear, having a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who disparage your good conduct in Christ will be put to shame.

Genesis 50:20 
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to do what has happened on this day, to keep many people alive

Ephesians 4:31-32 
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Romans 10:9-10 
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

John 3:16-17 
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 
Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

Romans 6:23 
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord


I can only ask, and hope, and pray that what we talked about today will stay in your thoughts, be on your mind today and in the coming weeks. So that you think on the things of God in all seriousness, because death comes to everyone. 

150k die every day, most dont live to old age, many die of disease, accidents or other tragedies. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. So turn to Jesus today, and get to know the God who lived you so much that He went to extreme lengths (while we were His enemies) to be saved and rescue us from Hell & set us aside to bless us with a relationship with Him, and spend eternity in paradise. 

Thank you for your interaction with me today. I do hope to meet you in Heaven. I do hope you go there.
