There are many Christians walking around today, far removed from Christ’s teaching of love. Yes, we’re human. Yes, we fall short. But sometimes it feels like we use that as a convenient excuse to carry an ugly heart.
Think about it—Mahatma Gandhi wanted nothing to do with Christianity, not because of Christ, but because of how Christians treated each other. And honestly, when you look around today, it’s not hard to see why he felt that way.
It reminds me of The Good Samaritan, especially The Levite Who Looked… and Walked Away:
“So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.” — Luke 10:32
Or the woman they were ready to stone, The One Who Dared to Judge First:
“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” — John 8:7
And we can’t forget The Man They Overlooked in God’s House:
“Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in… have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” — James 2:2–4
All of these stories shine a light on the very behaviours Jesus preached against. That little darkness inside us—the one that makes us think we’re better, smarter, holier—that’s the one the enemy loves to feed.
And he’s doing his job.
He’s roaming.
He’s seeking whom he may devour.
So I have to ask: Are you making it easy for him? How’s your heart really doing?
Are you walking in the kind of love Scripture talks about? The kind that shows What Love Really Looks Like? “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
We read the Bible, but are we letting it read us? We know the Scriptures, but are they transforming us? Too many of us live surface lives—busy, mechanical, distracted—never taking a quiet minute to let God convict us, soften us, or renew us.
When was the last time you stood in awe of God’s creation? When was the last time you checked your choices and realised they’re shaping the very experiences you keep complaining about? We carry heaviness, misery, burden, and darkness not because God put it there—but because we let too much from the outside settle on the inside.
So here’s your invitation:
Pause. Evaluate. Realign.
Ask yourself:
Am I being judgmental?
Am I unforgiving?
Am I living like a robot when my life should be on fire for Christ?
How can I choose compassion over comparison?
How can I see someone’s pain instead of their faults?
How can I support instead of shutting people out?
How can I release what I cannot control and truly trust God?
And how can I heal my life by forgiving—fully, freely, honestly?
The truth is, many of our internal battles come from a simple lack of reset. We don’t stop. We don’t listen. We don’t humble ourselves enough to say, “Lord, show me me.”
Because as C.S. Lewis said: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.”
Maybe that’s where the revival begins.
Not in a big moment.
Not in a church service.
But in the quiet shift of a humble heart.
Think about it.
Lots of love and amazing light.
