Love Don't Judge

1 John 4:8 "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."

Love is HARD. People in the world think Christian are the weakest people but actually we are the strongest, because it is not easy to love people.  It's a whole lot easier to hate someone when they hurt you, but to forgive someone and still love them and bless them when they hurt you, that is where true strength is. :) Only the strongest people can do that.

1 Peter 4:8 "Keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins."
If you really love someone you won't care what they did or didn't do.  "Love keeps no record of wrongs."

Colossians 3:14 "Put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy.  His number one goal is to divide and conquer.  He wants to divide any strong friendship and any love relationship, because he hates it when we are united in love with others.  But don't let him.  God desires that we have harmony with others, so seek peace at all costs.  Don't let Satan pit you against those you love the most.

John 13:34-35 "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I have never understood why those in church can sometimes be some of the most cold and heartless people out there.  It is pretty ironic isn't it?  Love is supposed to define all of who a Christian is, but sometimes, often times, Christians can be the least loving people.  I know I have had this problem a lot in the past.  For some reason when we get saved we think we can judge everyone else.  But we aren't saved and then become God. Saved people are still sinners and we need to stay humble and always see that.  Don't get to full of yourself just because you are saved.  God OPPOSES the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

It's a lot more fun to judge others then to BE judged. I think we judge others to get our minds off of all the judgment we ourselves get from others. Bullies were always bullied themselves. ;) And "those who deserve love the least often need it the most." So love your haters. ;)
