If our battle is not against flesh and blood, why do we label each other as enemies?
(Ephesians 6:12)
If we are instructed by Christ to turn the other cheek & love those who persecute us, how is a righteous war possible?
(Matthew 5:38-41-44; Luke 27-36)
If love is keeping no record of wrong, why do we store the sins of others in our minds?
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
When we judge the sins of others do we not make light of God’s kindness, patience, & tolerance?
(Romans 2:3-4)
When we ourselves are corrupt, how can we choose who deserves the forgiveness of God?
(Romans 2:1)
If we are to seek the will of the Father and He wills that no man should perish, should we not yearn for that also, making every attempt to show the character of Christ in our lives?
(Matthew 6: 9-10, 26:42; Mark 14:36; Luke 2:49, 11:2 [NKJV]; John 5:30, 8:28-29; 2 Peter 3:9)

No easy answers, Emily. Your post reminds me of the note I posted on Facebook awhile back.
I just came across a quotation by Eleanor Roosevelt that goes something like this, "We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face… we must do that which we think we cannot." I find this quotation quite true, we must do more of what we fear.
