Let God

Verse of the Day

'Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.' James 3:17-18 MSG

It's hard to be a Christian. But believe it or not it's harder to be an unbeliever, and if you can imagine living a life harder than that, it is to be a believer who lives a life like an unbeliever.

Remember, we are all sinners needing mercy. We are all sinners deserving death and we as believers are only able to stand because of the sacrifice Jesus did for us, a gift which none us deserves.

But the same sacrifice that washed away our sins also fully paid for the sins of those who hurt us, those who mock us, treat us unfairly, short change us, treat us badly, dishonor us, disrespect us and hang us out to dry.

Jesus does not only love us, He also loves those who do these things to us. And so who are we to not love them with the same undeserved love that we received. Let go and let God!
