THE LADY AND THE PASTOR

Convo:

A Lady went to her Pastor and said..

Lady: Pastor, I won’t be going to your Church anymore

Pastor: But why?

Lady: Ah! I saw a woman gossiping about another member; a man that is hypocrite; the worship team living wrong; people looking at their phone during service; among so many other things wrong in your Church.

Pastor: Ok. But before you go, do me a favor: Take full glass of water and walk around the Church 3 times without spilling a drop on the ground. Afterwards, leave the Church if you desire.

Lady: Too easy!

The Lady walked 3 times around the Church as the Pastor had asked. When she finished, she told the Pastor she was ready to leave.

Pastor: Before you leave, I want to ask you one more question. When you were walking around the Church, did you see anyone gossiping?

Lady: No.

Pastor: Did you see any hypocrites?

Lady: No.

Pastor: Anyone looking at their phone?

Lady: No.

Pastor: You know why?

Lady: No.

Pastor: You were focused on the glass, to make sure you didn’t stumble and spill any water. It’s the same with our life. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we don’t have time to see the mistakes of others. We will reach out a helping hand to them and concentrate on our own walk with the Lord.

“Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is sit down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

-Hebrews 12:2
