Food for thought.. I have been thinking for a couple of days about this and so as I am typing I am formulating it in my blog.. Please forgive me if it sounds terrible..
I have been sitting back thinking about life, people. how things go and why things are the way they are or why people act the way they do... So the next little bit is my thoughts on all of this.. LOL.. Are you ready for this???
I am the kind of person who will give you the shirt off my back if you are in need. I will do anything for anyone even people who are not exactly nice to me. I often ask myself why am I this way.. The only answer I can come up with is because it is my ministry tool to help others and to be there for people. I think that is why I am sometimes upset that people are not as forgiving and helpful as I tend to be. I try to always look past what I might consider a person's faults, look for the good and go on. I am a forgiving person who knows that each of us make mistakes and choices that we ourselves might not make, but yet we tend to feel like it is our place to judge them and tell them how right or wrong we might think that they are. I feel like as humans and CHildren of the Lord that we should love one another, we do not have to like the sin, but I believe in the Bible is talks about loving the sinner and hating the sin. I feel like we as humans get caught up in the fact that someone has sinned and that it has to be much worse than any of our sins are that we make it so we seem to be able to justify being judgemental even though unless we have been in that persons same position we have no idea how we would react.
I am asking each person who reads my blogs to look in themselves. Look deep and think of how we as humans tend to hurt others because we don't like what they might do. Look inside yourself and ask *am I a forgiving person* or am I judgemental. I also ask that you look at your life and friends and used to be friends and ask God to bring to your attention anyone you might have judged, hurt, been unkind to, ignored, or helped in their stumbling and ask God to forgive you, but also go to that person and ask for their forgiveness. Sometimes in life things happen and we do not know that they hurt someone, but it causes things in our lives to be array. If you feel like you have been wronged or hurt by someone or that they have misunderstood you then by all means ask for their forgiveness and try to make things right. God has some great blessings in store for you bleesings we might not recieve if we are unwilling to forgive and be forgiven.. May God Bless you all.. *HUGGERS* |
Have a great evening,
Jennifer
