Loving Your Neighbor

Over the past year I have watched too many people turn on each other at the drop of a dime... or less. Showing no character, no integrity, no love toward their neighbor, and all too eager to tear someone apart because they disagree. (this has nothing to do with anyone who comments on my status' either)

We are here for one purpose; to glorify God... as one body. When we turn on each other and bash those we disagree with, we join up with the devil destroying the very thing that God is trying to build.

God used many non perfect people in the Bible to do His work because the "perfect" people were too busy worrying about who does this right or does that right. God looks at a man's heart, not his outward appearence. He is the one who changes people, not us. He is also the one who promotes people. We are not the judge nor the jury, it is not our responsibility nor right to decide who should do what. Leave that to God.

Let's focus on doing what God puts on our hearts and fight the real enemy; satan. As we fight not against flesh and blood but of principality and powers of darkness. If you find someone you don't agree with (and you will), pray for them. That God will give them wisdom in their endevour and bless them as they grow in knowledge and understanding.

I forward this to everyone I could think of that is or will be used of God because if you haven't had this challenge come your way through people, you may and I want this to encourage you.
We are powerful as a body of Christ, but weak only when we allow ourselves to fight each other.

God is a good God. Let's show the world just how great He is by how we treat one another!
