Please slap me when necessary

Yesterday my character/attitude towards an individual was called into question by the individual. Two things:

1. Thanks
2. I'm sorry. Seriously.

You didn't ask for a "public apology", but I'm giving you one because you deserve it. You sometimes get on my nerves. So what? I probably get on yours a lot. There is no excuse for the amount of rudeness that you receive from me. 1 John 4 Says that I can't say I love God but hate my brother, because that makes me a liar.

I am a liar.

I promise from this point forward to keep my attitude in check, and treat you the way you deserve to be treated as a brother/sister in Christ.

I am imperfect. Flawed. I probably treat a lot of people worse than they deserve. This apology is to you to. I am beginning to make an effort to change myself and my attitudes to reflect the way Christ would have treated you. As someone He loves. Therefore it is my duty to also love you regardless of my personal opinions, because "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."-Paul.

I talk a big game. If you see me not doing this, please feel free to verbally/emotionally slap me so that I can step outside myself and see. Thanks.

So we go,

DS
