There can be obstacles between us and believing in the love of God for us. And it’s complicated when one of those obstacles is the people who are supposed to represent God’s love! Is God’s love as painful as our experience with some believers? Being hurt in church doesn’t mean we should bypass the command to fellowship with fellow believers; it is our opportunity to walk in love.
God has always used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. But many times our own thinking about ourselves gets in the way of being used! Does our opinion of ourselves count?
There is always going to be more that I can do. If I feel that I can do it, does that automatically mean that I should? How do I draw the line so that I don’t burn out, waste my time or feel that niggling guilt brought on by not being able to do everything?
