reality check

With things going on in my life lately, I have built up a lot of frustration and anger inside. I'm not like super ticked, just really upset and even hurt. Recently I've been in a situation where I literally did nothing wrong. A ton of people are really upset with me, said incredibly hurtful things, and don't care much for me anymore and it just feels like crap. I didn't do anything to deserve this. Seriously.. =/ But the thing that has just made it even worse is to realize that this is what we do to God on a continuous basis. Even though in this situation I didn't do anything, or at least didn't intentionally do anything, wrong, I have done many things wrong in other situations. God NEVER does anything wrong. Ever. Yet here we are, hurting him so much every single day. I feel really selfish because here I am moping around feeling sorry for myself when God is up there being hurt every second of every day by every person on this Earth. Gahh, I don't even want to think about how painful that would be. I thought my situation was bad... It was a reality check for me to realize that we are all just as crappy. Maybe we don't do intentionally hurtful things, or say things to bring people down like some other people, but as a whole we are all mean people, at least in the context of how we treat God. After everything that has happened this past week, I am praying that I can get rid of the anger, frustration, and hurt that I have because of people in this world and realize that I'm no better than so and so. We need to stop focusing our attention and emotions on things happening around us and pour it all into the Lord because he deserves all of our thoughts and attention. Make sense? Idk, kinda jabbered that out. Oh well.

    i was hit with this exact same thought today, yet in a completely different context. we give so much attention and thought to things of this world that are so temporary. we neeeed to start running to him with all we've got. thanks for the encouragement. gosh, i like you :)
