Lord Help Us
I saw this picture on Facebook today and normally I would of ignored it, not liking it's content. However the Holy Spirit really convicted me with this and I could not stop staring at it. I was looking at it for 10, 15 minutes at least. I then started to read the comments, and it broke my heart. We live in blindness. How often do we really do this and not realize it. I want to challenge you to stop and think about this, pray about this; How do you as a person do this to others? Our outside shell tells us that we don't do it, but dig deeper, you'll likely find that you actually do. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you do, and ask Him how you can change so that we can share love with others rather than condemnation.
For those who are upset at Christians for doing this, I want to apologize. My goal is to spread love, to shed light in the darkness and to serve others. I don't want to condemn you or anyone else for anything. This is not easy to follow though. We today, the church of God, we too easily take out beliefs and expect others who do not share that belief to follow it. We have no such right to do so. Our right is to share Christ's love with you and nothing more. We won't make actions or decisions against what we believe but we will share our love with you. We want to love you as Christ loves us, and God will do the rest. God alone can work in our hearts. We too often think that our condemnation, our judgements, and out "fighting" for the truth in extreme ways will change peoples hearts. But only God can change your heart, that is not our responsibility. We may share out beliefs with you, but do not claim that as condemnation or judgement until it really is. Sharing and judgement are two separate things. We want to share and love, so that Christ's name will be glorified. We really do love you. God really dose love you.
