judge not, lest ye be judged...

...and the pride of life....
-

no one understands me, no one other than He who understands us to the depths of our hearts...
-

I dont want to.... I really don't...
-

the heart of service to God, and how it is marked by dedication and faithfulness to serve God in every circumstance...
-
but I cannot know and I will not know...
-

...did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him...(John 3:17)
-
the heart of God is that of forgiveness, of grace and mercy.. undeserved love...
-
and therefore... since we are forgiven... we ought to forgive others as well...
-
lest we be like the man in the parable of the unmerciful servant... who owed his master a lot but was forgiven... yet he refused to forgive the one that owed him little...
-

everyone needs forgiveness
-
even me...

"its standard... cannot..."
-
"you brought everything upon yourself"
-
"clear cut calling..."
"... was a well known double face.... social experiment..."
-
irony indeed...
-
why is the world like this... even our Christian brothers and sisters... we still don't see the love of Christ...
-

"...see talents put to better use..."
-
or nothing at all
-

nothing and nothing at all
-

we will never see God move in a powerful way, unless we seek forgiveness... and forgive one another... because we were first loved... we love others...
-

-
which is why... even if we preach fire and brimstone... we must never preach from a "holier than thou..." attitude or even appear to do so
-
never to mock at others... never to put down others... to rebuke in a manner that is Christ-like...
-

if we read the Word of God
we see
He is Sovereign... 
the God of the blessings... 
the God of the pain
-
we see
He is Love
-
we see that He is a God of Wrath and judgement.
-
but because we subject ourselves under the Law of love... the grace of God shown through Jesus Christ, and not unto the Law that brings about death and judgement
-
we therefore should live according to the law of love...
-
and if we love God... we would keep His commandments... the greatest being
-
"love one another..."
