Good morning! How are we faithing? It is interesting when I see on the news or on the street a shunning of someone by Christians because of a sin. So have we believers gotten better than the non believers? Are you mental? Of course we haven't! We are redeemed. God loves you and I and all those out there the same. In John the third chapter Jesus said "whosoever" believes. That means everyone you see regardless of the sin they are in. The Bible tells us what is sin and what is not sin and at the same time tells us to love like he does therefore, we ought to be loving those sinners we meet in fact, we ought to be out in the masses loving and showing Jesus because HE will convict them of their sin. HE will deal with them spiritually. It is not up to us to use the "you'll go to hell for that sin" but rather to present forgiveness in Messiah. We have forgiveness and so can they therefore jump down off that high horse and meet those people where they are.
1Pe 3:15-16
but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Christ.

Psa 147:10-11
He delights not in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, who hope in His mercy.
2Co 6:2
(For He says, "In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation, I helped you;" Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Heavenly Father,
Forgive us Lord when we think more of ourselves than we are. Lord we ask for wisdom to deal with the things we face and the people we meet. Help us shine with your love and your forgiveness. Let others see you in us and let us work without fatigue so you are glorified. Meet the needs of those who are seeking you and let them find your forgiveness and courage to step on the narrow path to righteousness. Help us curb our tongues, in Jesus name, amen
