John 6:37 "All those the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away." FOOD FOR THOUGHT; "IF JESUS DOES NOT DRIVE ANYONE AWAY, WHAT GIVES US THAT RIGHT TO DO SO?" We cast people down, (supposedly, in the name of the Lord), and justify it saying 'God is a righteous God & you can't do that, or you have to leave'. BROTHERS & SISTERS, WE HAVE ALL BEEN GUILTY OF THIS! BUT WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IS THAT GOD IS TRYING TO TAKE US TO A NEW LEVEL OF MATURITY IN THE AREA OF ACCEPTANCE! "GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO DRIVE ANYONE AWAY, INSTEAD, HE WANTS US TO LEARN TO WORK WITH THEM TO KEEP THEM FROM FALLING BACK INTO THE WORLD!"
