Humble and Kind

Do you ever feel like the world turns its back against you or you just can't catch a break? I wish this was the case because I would not feel as disillusioned or disappointed to call people greedy messed up people christians. Aren't christians suppose to be the nice ones? Are't they suppose to help and lift each other up? All I can say is we live in a truly broken world. The older I get the older I understand how Elfaba felt when singing "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."

My dad lost his job... again.. and it was not fair... again.

I want to go tell some "christian" backstabbers what I really think of them. I want to speak in front of their churches, be transparent, and call them out on their sins. I want to show the whole community how fake their leaders are. I WANT THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM FIRED TOO!!! My flesh wants vengeance, justice, and a knock-down-drag-out-fight..
 but..
you know what God has been telling me?
"Stay humble and kind, my child." 
I take a deep breath and then state, "BUT what if people never know the ugly truth?"
"Stay humble and kind, my child." 
"BUT what if they lie or not tell the whole truth about the situation to make them look better?"
"Stay humble and kind, my child." 
"BUT..."
"Stay humble and kind, my child." 
"Ok Lord, help me stay humble and kind because I cannot on my own.

Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw would pop on every time I got in the car, listened to the radio, walked into a store/restaurant. These words stuck with me the most:

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'

Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line

Always stay humble and kind
