Open Letter to ....

Good morning!
Have u shown yourself to be an example of grace? Do you give grace to others as much as you daily receive from God?

1. Talking endlessly about a friend's errors reinforces the character trait or weakness and does not help correct them

2. God is the only person they are accountable to, not you. You either give them a break or stay away.

3. The only job you have been called to do in relating with fellow men is to LOVE them!!! God wants you to love them despite everything. To bless them, pray for them, love them, do not backbite. That's all you have been called to do - walk in love!

4. You don't know the conversation people have within their hearts. You haven't walked in their shoes, you don't know their history, you don't know the reasons they do the things they do. You do not have the full information and the full understanding of the man's heart! For this reason alone- you are unqualified to judge!

5. The bible asks "who condemns the man that God has justified?"
Do you want the answer to that question to be you? The truth is that when God justifies a man, he does it in an instant. A man is convicted by the Holy Spirit and he goes to his maker for grace, forgiveness and acceptance, which he receives. He becomes a changed man or his short comings are gone. But there you are, clueless about the private fellowship and conversation he has had with God.

6. If you were not busy being a busy body, but have been doing what the Holy Spirit says- "bear with one another in love", you wouldn't have fallen into the trap of speaking unadvisedly with your lips.

7. What the devil is supposed to do and receive judgement on, you are carrying it on your head. You are venturing into the territory of being the accuser of the brethren, alongside the devil. Hmmmmm

8. Judge yourself so that you won't be judged. Think about this- how many times have you done stupid things both consciously or subconsciously? When you realize you failed to live the life of Jesus which you profess in a situation, how do you feel? Terrible? Don't you ask God to cleanse you, and hope others don't judge you?

9. Did you become perfect overnight? Isn't it years of fellowship with the Holy Spirit that makes you get it right? Do you judge someone who peeped in bed at the age of 10 at the age of 24?

10. Further more, a man can't give what he doesn't have. If you have never heard that lying is a sin you will sin. Our job is to point and teach the truth in love and then let the Holy Spirit convict them as we step back and start to see them as people who DO NOT lie.

I ask with love, that we learn to project the heart of Jesus to people and don't go behind and tell the world of their weaknesses, and condemning them for it. See them through Jesus' eyes...

PS: One more thing... this is actually an open letter to myself.... :) Good Morning!
