6/3/2011 LJ "Acceptance of all nature"

Scripture:
Romans 15: 7 "Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God."

Observation:
The words speak that we are not to judge anyone. Everyone is son's of God. So if we are judge them, we are judging God. Regardless of what their believes or stage in faith is, we are not to judge by accept them for who they are. As God has done the same. God has not classified us in any ways, he accepted and has delivered us from the evil. God wants us to do the same, accept another, praise his name with one another. Praise and glorify God with one another. If anyone is chosen child of God, no matter what the circumstance maybe, accept them for who they are regardless of the pain and suffering they bring, and let God be the judge of them. All God is commanding us to do is, accept them and love them according to his word.

Application:
So despite all the trouble my parents are going through with my aunts, I should not judge them or say anything of bad nature. They are my family, and they say they are believer. Do I think they are hypocrite Christians, absolutely, but then who am I to judge, I would be the same individual. Accept them for who they are and what they have done. In the end, the rewards will be rewarded to those who abide by God's commandments, and those who boast of God for their own benefits or to fulfil their own glory, he will give them proper judgement they deserve. Life is fair that way, though we think we may suffer now, but the waiting and abiding by his words will lead to much more rewarding life in the end. So accept them and love them regardless what they say and do. Just pray for them and lift them up to God that he will heal the circumstances, and bring peace.

Prayer:
Father, it is so difficult to forgive and accept those who call themselves Christian and yet bring so much harm and pain to our family. Father, as you have accepted us regardless of our flaws, Father help me and give me the courage to forgive and love them regardless of what they have done and did. The words they say have so much thorn against it, they boast and slander each other, Father you are ultimate judge and Father give me and my family the courage and discipline to abide by your glory and righteousness, that we will not fall into judging them or becoming like them. Father lead us to brighter life of serving your words and living up to your laws. Father God, thank you for your blessing and love onto me and my family. You have provided more then enough through this trails of circumstance. We are grateful, we know you will bring the judgement upon fairly. Father God, stir our hearts and strength our hearts that we will love them and accept them through all this pain. Father thank you for your love, and we love you so very much. In your gracious name amen.
