Thoughts

It is WAY past my bedtime and I have to get up in a few hours, but wanted to get in a quick blog. It's been on my heart for a long time.....

I have had the chance to do a lot of thinking and if you know me at, you know that I am a pretty deep thinker:)

I have been around Christians all of my life. I have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the cult, the judgemental attitude, the "I am better then you", the "I am going to heaven & you are going to hell", the ones who lead one life style @ church, another in real life and those who have been so turned off by Christians that they abandon their faith all together. Why is this?

Why can't we as Christians come together as ONE and not fight against each other? Why do we think we are God who has put us here on earth to judge another soul? God came to save us from our sin. If we were perfect, there would be no need for God. Sin will happen, it is just human nature. That is why we have God, that is why He came and died for us. I find it fascinating that those of us that call ourselves Christians are usually the first to criticize, to leave the one in need "stranded", the first to judge, the last to love unconditionally, the last to accept the person for who they are, for how God sees them. Matthew 22:34-38 hits the nail on the head.

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?". Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.''

We are ALL here on earth to serve and help others, not for the world to serve us. We are not here on the earth to judge, all though it may be easy to. We are not to tell who gets into heaven or not- that is God's job. I am very thankful that I am not God!

More to my thoughts about this, but I have been up going on 21 hours and need at least some sleep:)
