May we be followers of CHRIST! Christ being the love of GOD for us to follow, live, and spread.
HE knows our hearts and darkest secrets, and does not expose them to the world ( like we try to do with one another). Instead, HE gives us just righteous punishment for them. HE covers our sins from the world, which should give us guilt for what we have done in order for us to never do it so openly, or prayerfully ever again. This new awareness of what we were and have done should also humble us to a point of gratefullness and joy of still being alive, since the wages of sin is death. Then we should love one another and have patience for one another, as HE has for us.
May we follow this pattern with one another.
Correcting one another one on one in truth through righteous judgement, and never judging someone's spiritual destination. No one knows where heaven or hell truly is, so, never us should ever say someone is going to either place. Let's always remember how GOD has changed us. So, the means that HE can also change the person we are judging.
Let's be loving, gracious, merciful, steadfast, peaceful, honest, and humble with one another. Only correcting the physical actions of others, rebuking spirits in one another, and reproofing our false understandings/actions with one another through the WORD! Anything else is interpretation, which is man's ego; which is sin.
May HIS love lay abundantly in all your hearts.
Remember how HE changed you and how long it took. Have 70 times more of patience for the next human being that you want to see make a change. Pray for them, tell them about JESUS, and wait for GOD to touch their hearts to guide them on the steps to make their change.
LOVE TO ALL!!
Please pray the LORD's PRAYER and please read:
HEBREWS 12:1-11
1 With so many witnesses in a great cloud all around us, we too, then, should throw off everything that weighs us down and the sin that clings so closely, and with perseverance keep running in the race which lies ahead of us.
2 Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection: for the sake of the joy which lay ahead of him, he endured the cross, disregarding the shame of it, and has taken his seat at the right of God's throne.
3 Think of the way he persevered against such opposition from sinners and then you will not lose heart and come to grief.
4 In the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep fighting to the point of bloodshed.
5 Have you forgotten that encouraging text in which you are addressed as sons? My son, do not scorn correction from the Lord, do not resent his training,
6 for the Lord trains those he loves, and chastises every son he accepts.
7 Perseverance is part of your training; God is treating you as his sons. Has there ever been any son whose father did not train him?
8 If you were not getting this training, as all of you are, then you would be not sons but bastards.
9 Besides, we have all had our human fathers who punished us, and we respected them for it; all the more readily ought we to submit to the Father of spirits, and so earn life.
10 Our human fathers were training us for a short life and according to their own lights; but he does it all for our own good, so that we may share his own holiness.
11 Of course, any discipline is at the time a matter for grief, not joy; but later, in those who have undergone it, it bears fruit in peace and uprightness.
Praise JESUS,

To God be the glory!
Why?
Why should I follow a God who doesn’t respond to prayer?
Why should I follow God who ignores my pain?
Why should I follow a God who allows a demon like Obama to be put into office with a cult leader about to follow him there?
I used to be where you are but not anymore.
