Lord, may we have the courage to love like You!

Romans 14:4
"Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand."

Sometimes we fail to realize that we overstep our boundaries & offend those we are actually trying to encourage.

There is a natural order of things.
God has set these boundaries in His infinite wisdom.
Who are we to impose on God?

Let us never take liberties that are "ASSUMED."
Let us never hinder others in their spiritual growth simply because we want to get our point across.
Let the Holy Spirit do the work of "CONVICTION."

Though we may be placed in the position to expose a weakness in someone else.
It is to be done in a manner that brings correction to that person.
It is never to be done to prove that person has a flaw.
"BECAUSE WE ARE ALL FLAWED!!!"

If this is our intention, then we are wrong.
Our motive is wrong.
We are seeking to speak ill of another.
We are seeking to exalt ourselves & our knowledge above someone else.

"THIS WILL NEVER BUILD THAT PERSON UP!"
"NOR WILL IT BUILD UP THE PERSON WE ARE GOSSIPING TO!"

Whether we are right or wrong in what we are saying,
The moment something is released from our mouth to anyone else beside the actual person needing to be dealt with,
We are planting a seed in the mind of someone else about that individual.

"LET US NEVER BE BAD SEED SOWERS!"

"WE WERE CALLED TO SOW GOOD SEED ON GOOD GROUND!"

Lord, may we have the courage to love like You!!!
