Hey guys, Im 19 and am a 'young leader' in my local church and have been for the past 3 years.
over the past year I have been trying to disciple 2 young girls who would say they have been christians for around 5 or 6months.
The other day one of them said something that was abit out of order, and no excuses but I was having a very bad day so I kind of snapped at her. I didnt shout, but just sort of made it clear that I wasn't too impressed. Things were fine after that for a few days, but now she has become incredibly depressed and has told me shes not a christian any more and doesnt ever want to come to church again.
This is probably going to sound really arrogant of me, but Im basically worried that she depends alot on me to the point where if we have an argument then her faith kinda goes out the window too. Hmm not too sure if Im making any sense here.
So basically my question is how do we as christian leaders (or even as christians) get the balance right between trying to love like Jesus...but not loving people so they depend on us, but instead learn to depend on Jesus?
Ahh, thats frustrating, i really didnt explain myself very well.
if anyone understands my question then your thoughts would be very much appreciated
Thanks x
