Faith

I have been thinking a lot lately about faith.  My faith is the most important thing in my life.  Jesus died for me and saved me.  As a Christian it should be my job to show Jesus' love to people.  We recently moved across the country to Florida and we have been trying out churches.  The first church we went to we were sitting in service and behind us was a women who seemed to have some brain damage or was on some drugs, not sure but something was off with her.  She was talking loud and being disruptive.  Pretty quickly a few people in the service swarmed her and said she needed to leave.  She needed to go out in the lobby because she was being disruptive.  Her response was tears.  She started crying and saying "I just want to listen to what the Pastor is saying, I want to listen to the beautiful music.  Why are you being mean?  Why are you making me leave?"  I was instantly moved to tears.  I wanted to stand up and fight for her.  Yes she was loud and yes she was disruptive, but what was it harming?  She was searching for God and wanting to learn more.  And Christians response to a hurting soul was to kick her out.  She was asking it so the people that already know and love God couldn't learn more.  To me it seems like if we have a chance to reach an unsaved soul we should take it.  What was it going to do, oh man I wasn't gonna get my weekly teaching in one time because some lady was loud.  I felt so bad for her and it made me think about how that is true too many times.  We talk about reaching the lost and teaching people about God's love, but if it makes us uncomfortable or is an inconvenience then we second guess it.  My goal in life is to show people God's love by loving them and accepting them.  When God gives me a chance to teach someone about him I hope I don't ignore it and move on because I like my comfortable life.
