Why I get along better with non-christians than christians

When I was down right in the mess and ugliness of my sin,  there were three people that came along and held me through it, they put on Christ and revealed his presence to me through their actions.  I was wrong and hurting people.  Yet, these God sent friends covered me in prayer and literally baby-sat/took care of my kids when I needed help, watched over them and me.  They cared when no one else would, they gave me money to survive while other christians couldn't see past my sin and refused to reach out to me.  Instead of building me up, I was kicked down, instead of a gentle correction they were harsh and cold.   They knew I had a relationship with God and were angry to see how I kept on sinning.  Most christians just judged me and let me be, for the life of them they didn't know how to love me or accept me and show me God's character.  In my falling down I felt abandoned and rebuked.  That was NOT Jesus, Jesus doesn't do that. He would have held me, he would have come along and taken my hand and directed me to the heart of God.  Knowing my name is tattooed into the palm of God's hand, He saved me by His grace alone.  When others didn't reach out and extend a hand, I didn't get angry, I grew.  I grew knowing that to be more like Him I had to walk through the pain.  It requires intense understanding and mercy given to one to learn how to do the same with others.  Loving the unlovable, the complainers, the greedy, the misguided, the ignorant, the haters, the angry, the backstabbers, the merciless, the abusive, yes THIS can be done.  How do I know?  Jesus did it.  To be more like Christ it takes love and grace, not judgement or condemnation.  It takes His amazing eyes that looked upon me and his sweet mouth that spoke to me in gentleness.  It took the body of Christ, the REAL body of Christ to show me my sin- Jesus style, so I could I finally rest in my Father's arms.  I only continued to sin when the fake body(masquerading around in sheep clothing) didn't know how to love and were too angry with me because they saw the sin that only reflected the planks of pride in their eyes.  They could not recognize and discern how or what I needed as a fallen child of the King, not understanding that I just needed to be picked up and not pushed down.  

I know I'm a sinner and I get along best with sinners, because WHOM am I to judge?  There are SO many freakishly uptight christians, sad but true!  A lot don't know how to be normal and accepting, or don't understand what it is to be real and end up hiding who they really are.  This can be scary, but what's scarier is thinking you know God and in all actuality you don't because you're not seeking Him.  When we seek Him, love Him, and KNOW Him; it reflects in our lives and HOW we communicate with others.  I'm the worst at living the gospel.  The only difference between me and non-christians is: the Cross.  I have confessed and laid down my sin at the Cross (where Christ died) and believe in Him as my Lord and Savior.  I could NEVER save myself, that's why God sent Jesus for us!  The Cross gives me access to have the relationship I have with God.  God's grace showers me everyday and gives me hope.  I goof up daily, yet knowing my past and understanding God's love for me overwhelms me with a passion to draw closer towards Him which in turn fires a flame in me to be more like him.  I relate best with non-christians because I can't hide my flaws, I accept people the way they are because that's how God accepts me.  Christians that proclaim Jesus yet, don't know how to love as Jesus does have a hard time with someone like me.  Why you ask?  I don't know, you figure it out because frankly, I really don't care.  I'm just going to keep on loving EVERY single person I meet.  Yup, that includes gays, christians, killers, trans-genders, adulterers, drug addicts, fat people, skinny people, porn stars, mean people, funny people, tax collectors, the homeless, and WHATEVER PPL!

Not understanding someone does NOT justify not helping them or serving them.  Of course its easy to wash others feet that you love and get along with.  Yet, its hard to serve those that have hurt us or those we judge, we struggle helping people that are totally different from us in the light of perception and views, people we don't clique with or feel comfortable around.  When we assume that someone already has others to assist them or the government will take care of them, that's where we as christians have failed and deny 1 Corinthians 12:25-27.  Is it truth or not?  "there should be no division in the body(of Christ), but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is part of it."

Last time I read Ephesians 4:11-13 it said "Christ gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to EQUIP HIS PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE, so that the body of Christ may be built up! until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."

If you see a need- FILL it, be the hands and feet of Christ.  That small tingle when you see a car accident or someone struggling to stay warm or a mom trying to carry too much, THAT is God/the Holy Spirit speaking to you, telling you to stop your busy schedule and share Him! Hug the soul that just got hit by another car OR dare to hug freely the one that caused the accident, give the shivering soul the coat off your own back and a fresh cup of hot chocolate, go alongside the mother holding the baby at the grocery store and put her groceries up on the check out counter from her cart. Don't just pick one! Constantly, continuously, BE what Jesus has commanded us to be: His disciples.  People that not only know His words and go to church weekly but FOLLOWERS that actually follow his ways!  We should be his(God's) biggest fans, passionately desiring to become more like him.

Romans 12:1-3 says "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.  For by the grace given me I say to every one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you."
