Hello, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've missed you all.
Today I stumbled across a blog of a very Godly man who posts things like "What God says about kissing" and "How should we, Biblically, treat someone who has wronged us", you know. Things like that. Well let me just tell you. He left the comment box open for people to let him know how they felt about the subject. Mostly the comments were filled with drama and personal experiences. Most of which, I'd prefer not to repeat. But the way one so called "Christian" treated another so called "Christian" disgusted me. One of the most important things God talks about is love. There are 393 scriptures in the Bible that mention or contain the world love. I would say that's a lot. We are so quick to judge someone else when we don't agree with them, but really God calls us to love. To lay it at His feet, to walk away, and to pray for them. That would be more influential to that person that you disagree with anyways. Wouldn't it?
One of my favorite verses lately is Galatians 2:20.
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Wow. I don't know about you. But wow. Once we say yes to Christ, it isn't about us. It isn't about what we want, or how we feel. No, I don't always feel like loving people. And of course we make mistakes. But what makes us set apart, is loving when it's most difficult.
After all, it isn't our job to condemn people, but yet it is the Holy Spirits' job to convict.
