Maybe the church has hurt you.

If people used the name of Jesus to wound you, that is real, and it grieves Him more than it grieves you. But hear this carefully: Christ is not the church at its worst. He is the One who confronted the religious hypocrites, wept with the outcast, and touched the people everyone else pushed away. The failures of His followers are not the last word about Him. If you have written God off for what was done in His name, it is worth meeting the real Jesus, honestly, for yourself. He can bear your anger and your questions. He is not who they made Him look like.

“A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench.”Isaiah 42:3
