Bad Optics

You know...a posted scripture will not do when this is required.

A posted prophecy? Save the key strokes.

And those posted Word of the day messages? They just get side-eyed looks.

Your dance in church? Do I even have to say it? Okay, okay, I'll say it.  "Child, sit yourself down somewhere!" Of course, accompanied by a full eye roll. 😁

When you have hurt and damaged folk, going mega spiritual will not heal their wounds.

All of your religious "stuff" is viewed through the lense of the pain you have caused them and not addressed. Bad optics for that lense puts the label hypocrite on everything you do. 

Listen, when an apology is owed, give it. Period. 

I'm sorry. I was wrong. I got it wrong. Those short phrases will start the healing process of the wounds you have caused.

I have seen a lot of Christians brutalize other Christians on social media over the recent years for various reasons but mainly for political reasons. The heart of some have been ripped to shreds. 

In the aftermath, I have yet to see the same level of apologies flowing across social media. BUT there's no shortage of scripture, "Words", and/or prophecy...

Apologies are overdue and all of your religious "stuff" does not change that.

Just keepin' it real...

Sometimes, your greatest enemy is your own self...
