I
am. I'm willing to admit this. Are you? Not only am I prejudice; I'm an equal
opportunity hypocrite. Let me help someone view themselves as I have had to
view myself. If the person does not fit my mindset of how a person should look;
I get agitated and I'm certain that if you are honest with yourself there are
things about people that agitate you also. Now allow me to share with you who
agitate me so that a light will be shined on this negative attitude; then and
only then will it be possible for my Daddy to do an awesome work on me. I
dislike viewing the following:
a) Boys and girls wearing their
pants beneath their buttocks. I call them boys and girls because an adult man
and an adult woman would know how to put their clothes on correctly.
b) Disrespectful people.
Disrespectful people are not only disrespectful of others they are also
disrespectful of themselves.
c) Pessimist. I call these
people the “Glum folks”; if anyone is as old /older or may have seen Gulliver’s
Travels on those classic cartoon channels (if they air them that is) then you
are familiar with Glum who always said. “We’ll never make it; it’s not going to
work’ we can’t do that”. Then again you maybe the “can’t can’t people”. You are
always thinking or saying with your body language or your tone of voice
although you maybe saying the opposite and you are just determined to verbalize
why someone can’t say or do a thing. Especially if you are sharing your dreams
and passions. Or, you want to try something out of the ordinary for the person
you are telling what you are excited about.
d) People who throw education
out the door, window or any opening available.
e) People who discredit a
person for being themselves an original instead of being the carbon copy or
Xeroxed copy of another.
f) Judgmental and Legalistic
people. (Being prejudice is being judgmental)
Well
these are all the hang-ups I can see within myself for now and I'm tired. Now I
hope many of you noticed that I did not include nationality, age or sex because
I have this problem with every nationality, every age group and both males and
females. Though these attributes in people agitate me; I would never be
discouraged from witnessing to anyone beloved of the LORD. GOD the creator of
everything in the earth and knowing that humans are the apple of HIS eye causes
me to love those whom I don’t know just as much as those that I do love. I have
witnessed too many people hurt by CHRISTians who claim to be loving and
forgiving and yet will always remind a person of another's past instead of encouraging
them about their present and future in the LORD. I know longer want a mini
ounce of Shawn’s character to remain; I know longer want Shawn’s integrity to
remain. I want the fullness of CHRIST JESUS which includes HIS character and
integrity.
I
have shared my short comings and I am not ashamed to expose myself as I did. If
you will like to expose your short comings be it that you are a nonbeliever in
JESUS and desire to be or you are a believer in JESUS but you have some
challenges. Go to my web site http://amfbem.me
and send me an e-mail or just make a comment on the site where you are reading
this post.
Be
Blessed,
Shawn
