People are NOT Projects

How to Kill Relationships as a “Christian”…


People are NOT Projects:
Projects fall through the cracks and are forgotten…
Or worse, you give up on them because they “didn’t turn out the way YOU ” wanted”
Or they are taking to long to change… So you give up…
People who view others as actual people do not let them fall through the cracks…
Because they realize God never gave up on them…
Because they remember people who didn’t give up on them…
How do you view people?
The longer you view people as projects the more you empower them to put up walls that will keep you away from the Truth and Hope they need…
Who are you to give up on people when God never gave up on you… If you are a Christian and you don’t see relationships that way then I would guess you don’t know God's Grace….

Good stuff Tom! Works not just in ministry, but in real life too. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the suffering of others and I just want to fix it all. But that's up to God. Then there are others who I just want to label and table (put a label on their problem and set it aside because I don't want to deal with them). But that's not what Jesus did and that's not what God expects from me.  ~T.
