Don’t Poke Jesus In The Eye

 

Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?Romans 2:4 NIV Bible Gateway

I was relaying to a friend about Christian writing and that it is necessary to bring hope to people not condemnation if you are trying to win them to the Lord. Jesus would say “sin no more” but not poke you in the eye.

It is easy to find fault but Jesus wants people to be instilled with hope that no matter how raunchy and low down their sin He is still God and loves them and can set them free.

Are you poking anyone in the eye even if only in your thinking? Love wins people not slapping them around.

PRAYER: Father I have been guilty of wrongful judgment and remember that all of us have sinned. Help me be kind and teach me to reach out to those I would rather not deal with. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
