I pray that everyone who reads this will know it was written in love. It is not directed towards anyone in particular and was not written to cause more division. My spirit would not stop stirring this morning, so I knew this was something I needed to share. The purpose of this post is not to point out Scripture to support an argument. My only concern is that God is glorified in my life.
As sinners we all fall short of what God designed us to be - that is why He sent His Son, Jesus. Regardless of whether we agree with or even understand each other on this earth, I believe we need to show each other His love. It is our heart that God sees, not our ability to point out the specks in each others eyes.
Today I ask you to examine your heart - as I do the same. What is your heart full of? Love? Hate? Fear? Judgment? Kindness? Forgiveness? Perhaps a combination of those? Whatever it is, God knows. Our hearts are not hidden from Him. Not one of us is righteous, but it is by His grace that we are saved.
Our enemy loves to watch us accuse each other – especially when we do it the name of Christianity. We are all guilty and in need of God’s grace. We are not in a battle against flesh here – this is a spiritual war. I am not a preacher, teacher or Bible scholar, but I know the Love of God. Neither am I a poster child for soft-serve Christianity, but I will not use God’s word against my brothers and sisters with judgement or hate in my heart.
May God alone be glorified in our words, in our thoughts, and in our lives.
