Not sure why this is on my heart

So I was thinking back on a past situation when I was younger that a good "godly" friend of mine in the church hurt me, I was about 18/19 and teetering on the edge anyways, but they pushed me over and for a long time, I didn't want to have anything to do with church "if that was what christians are like"

You hear that excuse (and YES it is an EXCUSE) so often nowadays. "Sister so and so did this and it hurt my feelings, I'm not going to go to that event because she may be there."  "Brother so and so called me out on this and it was just wrong and not the right thing to do, so I'm going to stop going to church."

Really?! Why do we hurt ourselves, God, and our relationship with God because of other people?  Why do we make it about the other people? Why do we let other humans who are flawed beyond all imagine control us?  Why do we let OTHERS call the shots with what goes on between us and God?

Doing this only hurts yourself.  So, you got your feelings hurt, or something was said, and you turn from church (and ultimately God).  The other person (who may not have any idea they hurt you) asks God's forgiveness and KEEPS GOING AND GROWING IN GOD!!  THEY are still being blessed!!!!!  But you harbor those hateful feelings, and they grow and fester and make sores all over your heart and life, they cause you to be bitter and hateful, and turn from all Godly things to things of the world and you are now CURSED and MISERABLE in your life. And there are only 2 people hurt in this, you, and God, because you are not doing what He created you to do anymore.

Do it for God, not the people.  Make YOUR relationship #1... NO ONE ELSE MATTERS!!!

I'm not sure that this is for anyone other than myself, but I knew I needed to type it out, so it's here.  I know I needed it.
