I hurt a persons feelings of not only what I said but how I acted and she called me out on it today and brought it to my attention. I was annoyed because of something she did, in my church people are poor and excessively needy and they ALWAYS need something and this person said to me now that you are a deacons wife you have to be more avialable and yes that is true but I also have a life outside of church.
The person that I was asked to minister to is very poor low class and a very angry person who is forever yelling at her twins and I really don't want to deal with her. I know as beleivers we are to love one another but I really don't like her.
How can I be more compassionate and loving even when I dont feel like it? I will be moving In January. I find itwould be easier to be disobedient and walk away from the church that be obedient
bear one anothers burdens. I have been doing this ministry since 1989 and joined by husbands church in 1993 and I am tired and want to move on.

I don't know where you got the idea that being a good christian means that you have to be a good minister. Ministers are a special group of people and not everyone can be one... That doesn't make you a bad person!
Your husband is a Deacon and good for him... That is his calling! It may not be your calling and that is alright... It doesn't make him better than you or you better than him.. It is just the way it is...
If you want to be involved in the church then find something that you are comfortable with and believe in... Even if it is something like making dishes for a church function or making baptismal gowns... Doesn't matter.. If you get satisfaction out of doing something (however minor in others eyes) then good for you... You don't have to live up to others expectations! God doesn't keep score!

If you find it and it is damp from defrosting you can place the phone directly underneath a lamp with a 60 watt incandescent lightbulb to dry it out safely. This was the only method that worked when I had a soaked computer mouse.

God will not allow you to move on and supposedly leave your problems behind. Even if you move to China, your problem follows you. Confront your emotions and put them on check, even though it's hard, and go minister to that lady. God put her in your path so that you could learn this valuable lesson, compassion for your fellow man. It is not your place to judge who receives God's word. You deny this lady God's word, he will deny you. God could be in disguise as this angry lady to test you, and so far you are failing. You are failing God, yourself, and the lady. We are all God's children, brothers and sisters in Christ if you may. If and when you reach the gates of heaven St Peter will question your misdeeds and who you helped. You can do 10,000 good things in your life,and one bad thing, guess which one everyone will remember.
Most of all, YOU will know what you failed to do, and it will eat you up. I truly believe God told me to pick your question to answer. I could have said what you said, it's not my problem. I hope I have given you a healthy perspective view of your situation, God bless you.
