Daily Devo #10b
For fellow Christians, I urge you to read this, for the love of other believers and for the love of all.
1 Corinthians 6 (Once again, selected verses.)
"When you have something against another Christian, why do you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter, instaed of taking it to other Christians to decide who is right?...If you have legal disputes about such matters, why do you go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?...But instead, one Christian sues another-right in front of unbelievers!"
I'm just as guilty as anyone else who understands what I'm talking about, but we must-WE MUST-support each other in whatever we wish to do, unless it is sinful and scares the living bejeezus out of us.
Forget what has happened in the past, if you call it the past, leave it as the past.
The past is not the right time to dwell on-EVER. Only, I will understand, if you need to bring back serene memories, iconic/echoic memories, realistically-practical information.
The one who can move from one event to the unknown, despite the number or depth of scars, can only move to that next step strong enough to take the next obstacle head on. With that momentum, little things can give you just enough hope to move onto the next test. TEST. Not burden. God never wished ill will for you-he never planned it.
Treat others with care and respect. Love and patience are the keys to understanding each other.
