Please try to be sensitive to others. So many people are hurting right now whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. These times are very dark..that is why we all need a Savior. We believers need to understand our responsibility to the lost. It is not enough that you are saved, your friends and family and take the stance, "we are all good" and not pray for others. We are to go out in the world and preach the gospel to all man kind. It is not pleasing to the Lord to only have concern for your own. Selfishness is a sin, it is not good. Someone actually told my husband that his number one priority was his family and if others had to go to hell because he didn't have enough time to share the Word, then so be it. Wow! I pray right now for anyone that truly feels that in their heart. The Word of God tells us to love others as ourselves, to feed our enemies...it does not tell us at any turn to only care for those that care for us. A big confusion people have is thinking that being a good person or doing good works earns them favor with God but the truth is we will never be good enough to earn anything with the Lord. His gift of grace was given unto us freely, we did not deserve nor earn it. And we all must know that the Lord goes by our hearts, not our actions. He judges us inwardly, not outwardly therefore all the pomp and circumstance and "show" you are putting on is futile. Let's all come together this Christmas season in love as we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus, who exemplifies all that is good and pure. Let's glorify Him by obeying His Word and reaching out to those that are lost. Let's change the world into a better place. Let's make all of our little lights shine. Amen?!
John 15:12
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
