Who's the Christian?

Madame L:

So ... are Christians who bad-mouth Catholics and Muslims and Mormons really Christians?

I knew a man once, Abdullah Showail, who was a devout Muslim. He always tried to help other people, no matter what their religion, and always gave to the poor and always prayed. 

We also had a neighbor once who wouldn't let his kids play with our kids, "because you aren't Christians,"  excluded them from neighborhood play, and old them they were damned to Hell.

So ... who's the Christian? 

Dear "Who,"

Madame L is puzzled, as you are, by the behavior of such holier-than-thou people; and is very relieved to know that she doesn't have to figure out who the real Christians are. It will be up to God Himself to decide and to judge all of us. He's the only one who knows us well enough, and loves us completely enough, to judge us.

Madame L finds herself, every day of her life, struggling to act like a Christian.

And so she asks you, "Who," and everyone else who would like to respond:

How do YOU deal with anger, envy, and other such negative feelings? What helps you remember Christ and turn your thoughts and behavior to be more like Him? How do you fill your soul so full with the love of Christ that you don't have any room left for unkindness or unhappiness?

Thanks for your question, and thanks in advance for your answers,

Madame L
