I listened to this sermon two weeks ago about loving one another, and that led me to think about a ton of things I have been doing lately.
I got to the conclusion that I am not a loving person whatsoever. My mind is always plagued with thoughts of what other people do, or of what they are. I am always judging people for their attitudes or misjudging them as well. I am always looking at the speck of my brother’s eye, but what about mine? I have never stopped for a second to see the huge log in my eye.
I am not a loving person; I have been loving people with a love generated from inside my sinful flesh. This is so painful but it is the truth. I am a hypocrite. I am so ashamed of myself. “A self-proclaim Christian” this is what I am, but no living as Jesus did, and not loving as he did… Gosh! I am so frustrated. Satan has been using situations and people to take me to where I am now. How could I have been so blind not to see the truth?
1 John 4-20-21
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
I have never done this before. I love the ones that love me, and the one I think that love me, but what about people around me? Do I love them all? Do I love the ones that are not part of my circle? Do I love them? The answer is NO.
1 John 4-16
16We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
I am a liar. I am a hypocrite.
James 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
This is what I’ve done.
