I was thinking about how some of us look at others and decide that some do not deserve God's Mercy and grace I am guilty of this myself. I notice that at times I cant help it, especially my sisters and brothers in Christ. God is still not finished with me yet and I have the faith to know that I am a work in progress all of us are. We are never to old to learn something new. Before I came to Christ I used to love to talk about those "church folk" and if you were a phony, watch out. If you came bearing a cross I came to read you your last rights. Now that I have found my true love which is Jesus Christ I can say that it was the way some people represent God. My way of living Gods word is to show my weakness. I am made strong because God builds me up in my weakness. I am not shy to tell folks I messed up today but I keep pressing on my father is not done with me yet. I still dont understand the"holier than thou attitude" We can bring sinners that are in the dark to Christ, as well as sinners that are pretending to be in the light to Christ by showing our faults. If we were all perfect we would not need Jesus. I am so glad we have Jesus. ACTS 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them , men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving then the holy ghost, even as he did unto us; Just because we may think that some people don't deserve gods love doesn't give us the right to kill their spirit. We too walked in the darkness and what a revelation it was when Jesus saved our souls. Love is the answer. Love those even when you don't see with the natural eye anything worth loving. We walk not by sight but by faith. God does not make mistakes. Love and keep loving. It is not our job to judge. Some of us judge and forget to look at our own faults. Pray that God will keep you with his unconditional love.
