BUT only God knows the heart of a man!
You know basic right from wrong; there is no gray area in God’s eyes, BUT love the person anyway. Love is patient and kind (1 Co 13:4-8).
Another may not know what you know YET, but allow God to teach them and strive to not judge their heart as they learn. Pray for those who do not know, but KNOW that God loves you too. Pray for Wisdom in all things (James 3:13-18).
It is the behavior that is bad in a child, but the child is good. Be patient with everyone as we each take care to learn what we need to know about our own heart … the only heart we have the ablility to change! The rest is quiet prayer to the Holy One; and faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love, which sets the mold of intrique to follow.
Matthew 5:43-48 New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-22 New International Version (NIV)
Final Instructions
12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
The Word of God. I hope this was a blessing to you in your Created Today!
