Had an sad enlightening experience one night that made me realize how serious it is in how we represent Christ to our families.
Some of us who take our Christianity seriously have fallen into the trap of ignoring the very important things that seem insignificant to us. We have the word but we can become very harsh in how we administer it. The old self in us is easily seen by those who observe us but sometimes not by ourselves. We justify our harshness by rationalizing it away.
 
I saw my son in hell, I was there with him weeping that he was there because I had misrepresented Christ to him as a child. He turned away from Christ because of how I misrepresented him with my anger and harshness. This was very painful so I tried to relay this to him. Many have been sent away from Christ because of this sort of thing. There are eternal consequences for the way we live our Christian life. God is very much interested in the little things. Little to us but big to him. We may ignore them but God does not. He is able to bring it to our attention even if he has to use a dream to get thru to us. This is so we may set things right.
