Hypocrisy

No matter how deeply I desire to please and obey God, I will mess up--sin. That does not make me a hypocrite. A hypocrite according to Jesus is the one who does all the right things but he does those things in order to gain the applause of men. It is actually more hypocritical to sit around judging those Christians who are struggling in their walk, but desirous of becoming more and more like Him. As you go through that struggle, don't be discouraged. The daily desire to please Him will be a struggle until He takes you Home. And don't let someone label you a hypocrite. They are wrong. What you are is a growing Christian--and God is delighted with you.
