Prompt Answer: Bothersome and Why

What bothers you and why?

I am bothered by the basic lack of compassion, kindness, and understanding in those that claim to be followers of Christ.

Why? Because they claim he died for their sins, but are unrepentant in acts of horrific cruelty to their fellow man.

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” ~ Matthew 22:37-40

Both to yourself and to others: be kind, be patient, and have compassion for those who struggle.

Now, I may be a Jewish-born pagan, but Jesus was a Jew, too. I strive to live a good life, regardless of my pantheon. I wish to leave behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and a little bit of laughter.
