STOP IT

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Revelation 21:8
King James Version

I received an email from someone who criticized and said cruel words about some people. We need to stop it! We need to stop criticizing people and become encouragers to one another.

Guess what? You're not perfect and neither am I. All of us hurt Jesus and break His heart at times. There was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His Name is Jesus!

If Jesus will forgive us for some of the things we do that hurt Him, who are we to condemn one another? We read in the Bible. " She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more" (John 8:11).

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for being so judgmental, for criticizing and for hurting Jesus. I pray that if there is anything in my heart that hurts You that You will forgive me. I'm sorry because I never want to hurt You or Jesus and yet I know I do at times because of the things I say when I'm angry or hurt.

I love You, dear Father, and I appreciate all You have done for me. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
