quick to judge

being a Christian-- you don't have to tell people how broken they are so they'll see their need for God-- only He can convict/move of that-- no, we are to be Christ to those around us-- validate, give value to, humanize, care for people, encourage them; be real, be honest-- enjoy the positive qualities of others and show genuine love and appreciation of them and who they currently/ naturally/ already are (exuberant)-- make clear that you don't think yourself better than them! (we're all f'd up)--such the opposite of what Christians should be (is what we often are in this regard)! The hands feet eyes mouth of Jesus, LOVE. John 3:17 God didn't sent His Son to condemn the world but to save it through Him. "This is what I love about you." Envisioning that God LIKES me. Affection, enjoyment. This is love; nothing like a forced virtue. entering into Sabbath rest on a daily basis allows us to be this in the lives of others. All security and self-worth derived in HIS perfect, all-encompassing, soul-resting love. Sets us at ease, casts aside worry and fear, allows us to breathe and stop manipulating. Then, only then, can we be FREE enough to love people in a way that is LIBERATING to their souls. That is the goal. That people feel so loved, so valued in our presence that they know they've been touched by Something real. Something(ONE) bigger and deeper than all our human desires and needs. God let this be my life among my coworkers, patients, their families. The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. Show me how to enter and abide.
