Francesca Battistelli: If We're Honest
Warning!!!!! Before you read this writing let me just tell you if you are easily offended by the hurtful truth, then don't read this. I definitely don't want to overstep some boundaries or offend some people. For this writing I just would like to share some of my deep thoughts.
First of all, the "h-word" can mean a lot of things, I know. However, for this writing the "H word I'm thinking about is not a good thing. I'm thinking of the word " Hypocrite." So, yeah I think the sad truth is at one point of Our Lives there is a time where we may appear like that of a hypocrite.
Now,what are you guys thinking? Perhaps, now you're thinking Sam doesn't know me how could she make such a judgement on my character. Or, perhaps you're thinking maybe in some way I'm right in my thinking. I'm just making a general statement. I'm definitely not pointing out one particular person and using this writing to make them feel bad. Remember, just sharing some deep thoughts.
Friends, I am saying we are all hypocrites. That means I'm included in what I'm saying. That means if one person was considered not a hypocrite that would make them perfect. And, you all know my thoughts on perfection. I guess hypocrisy can fall into many different levels, but in actuality is pretty quite similar as well.
I'm thinking when it comes to wanting to stay in our comfort zone, sadly to say hypocritical qualities are welcomed in ones life. That really is pretty sad but so true.
You know where I think a vast majority of hypocrites can easily be pointed out and can be found? Yup, you guessed it. Hypocrites are found in church. Please think about it first before you disagree with that thought.
I know that I myself hold in my own life sometimes a pretty hefty bag of hypocritical qualities. On the outside of my life I may act one way, but then in the inside, God knows the genuine truth.
I guess perhaps if true born again Christian believers are hypocritical in the way they live their lives, then why would unchristian unbelievers see the true need to Believe In Christ and be attracted to Christianity? God knows they should. But most won't.
What do I think the remedy to that is? The answer is simple! Don't be a hypocrite. Remember to live Godly lives. Remember that our almighty father knows what's really going on and he knows the real you. The answer is simple yes, however following and obeying the answer is when it becomes difficult. Only God can help you with that.
Encouraging thought of the day:
Try not to act like a hypocrite today. If you see someone acting like a hypocrite, don't call them out on it but show them love! Let God be the one to tell that person's heart they're acting like a hypocrite.
Matthew 23:27 NIV
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
