Not sure what I need

It could be that your being a Christian makes your brothers more and uncomfortably aware of their unsaved state. And acting the way they do could be their way of disguising their discomfort. Just keep on praying for them and living for God the way you are. They are watching even when they are laughing at you and teasing you.

That's something that I have never really thought about before. Could that be why they pick out all my major faults as well? They see something negative in me and declare that they can't be Christians if that is what a CHristian is. Are they just looking for any excuse to avoid Christianity?
I know that we are supposed to live and act like CHrist - but I can be so hard on myself when I fail. I know that we all fall short of the glory of God, it just seems that I am exceptionally good at it at times. I don't put my sinful nature into perspective. I'm really good at thinking about the extreme negative side of things and as a result I scare myself away from doing things.
ANybody have any suggestions about how to keep everything in perspective?
