Some people just have attitudes you can't understand.

Earlier, I was just sharing with someone how I resent some girls who do nothing but keep snubbing me. It's funny because am referring to girls who are very active in Church activities. Am not here to disparage people from Church, ok. It's just I really don't get anymore. The Bible is clear in saying, "you should love one another." The Bible holds the Golden Rule, which I believe everyone knows. But, it's surprising that it's not what's happening around the Church. At least in my experience.
There were more than a couple of times when I caught this girl looking at me, and in all those times, when I looked back and smiled, she deliberately shook her head and looked away. I could excuse if it happened just once or twice. It's easy to think that she just had to attend to something else. But, many instances that it happened is quite questionable.
And, another girl who was part of the worship team...caught her a few times during their practices. She was on stage and when I looked she was looking at me, but snubbed me when I smiled.
I mean, what's going on in their heads?!

Well it goes to show that there's truth in the wisdom behind "being in church doesn't make one a good christian in the same manner that standing in a garage will make someone a car." People do some stuff just for the show, to project an image that they're something else. But hypocrites like these do not fool a lot of people more than they think they can fool themselves. A scrap metal wouldn't increase in value even if you plate it in gold. Sooner or later, it's true colors will show and it will be destroyed by its own rust.
You've done your part, you've reached out in the most proper way possible. The rest is up to them but whether they shape up or not, as long as they don't hurt you, then just let them onto their "plastic" ways.

Some people don't deserve that smile. All you were doing was trying to be polite by smiling back. I do the same thing if someone looks at me, and I've gotten the same kind of snubbery that you did. I don't blame you for resenting them. You tried to be nice and they decided they didn't want your kindness. Next time you see them don't give them any smiles, in fact, stay away from them if you can. Sometimes people think that because they are part of something that they can make other people feel bad, so they snub them.
I was in a choir once and it was professional, but I just wanted to sing, and each time people in my group looked at me, I too replied with a smile, and I too was snubbed by them.
You are better than those girls. You are smarter, prettier and more amazing than you can ever imagine. Don't let them spoil that for you. Show your beautiful smile, show them you won't let them bring you down. It is true we all should love one another, but it's not always the case.
