I ran across this event.  It is very interesting.

 

A man went to church with his wife one Sunday, after her nagging to him all week about he needing to go.  She told him that he was a sorry excuse for a human and needed Jesus in his life. He had committed many sins.  So, he relented and went.  When he arrived, he was greeted with the attitude of indifference and judgment.  After all, “you should have been here years ago,”  “It is about time.”  After the service, he walked away from the church building.

 

Two blocks down the road he noticed a bar.  Wanting some temporary relief from the stress of the morning, he stopped.  He ordered a drink  Picking up the glass, it slipped and fell to the floor.  Breaking in a thousand pieces, he stressed out.  Noticing his condition, the bartender patted his hand, “Don’t worry,” she said.  “It happens all the time.”  She poured him another drink.  The janitor came over and cleaned up the glass, reassuring him that it was no problem.  The man at the end of the bar, paid his tab.  “It happened to me too,” he smiled.

 

The man never returned to church, but every day he was in the bar.  Makes on wonder what kindness can do, does it not Beloved?
