I recently visited a “Christian” Facebook page and immediately encountered one of the worst, most vicious tirades I have ever seen. Needless to say, I shall NOT return to that page!
I had basically “abandoned” my blogs. I would go months without posting. I had become a “Facebook person.” Well, Facebook has not proven to be what I had hoped. I’ll still post there, but I’ve decided to blog more.
Fortitude 4 RA posted the following on her blog.
I know the person she refers to. And I have a pretty good idea what is going on. If I’m right, then it is something I know all too well. It is something each person has to walk through at their own terms and in their own way. This person is on my prayer list – the Intensive Prayer Unit. It is all I can do until the problem is shared.
Rather than tear people apart, it is better to be quiet and pray for them, if you are the “praying kind.” If not, just think kindly of them and keep quiet.
How does that saying go?
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
So beautifully stated – instead of tearing someone down, be quiet and pray for them. Put yourself in their shoes. Gosh, wouldn’t a little kindness and concern go a long way. Thanks for sharing.
