Indebted Lovers…

Indebted Lovers

Let me start by asking this... If you knew the past of your neighbour, will you 'love' them the same?
One of the reasons people hide in their cocoon is the need to be accepted and the place where they could be accepted is the very place that many atimes, rejects them. (Church).
Hence, social media. It affords a platform for people to anonymously enjoy connection until they find someone just like them. They get accepted, but they never really get to be better people. They oft times become a ticking time-bomb.

The church is a place for perfecting people. Not necessarily for already perfect people.
How can you claim to be forgiven of God and not extend that same arm of fellowship? The reason for humanity is divinity (thus our famous John 3:16)

Now to balance this, when you bring in a 'dirty' being into the fold (metaphorically speaking), hand them the soap and water (you can handout some sponge too winks*) and lovingly show them how to wash. If you wash them, you risk being dirty without knowing(still speaking metaphorically).

Many people have left the church because they were condemned rather than convincted.

If you’re a Christian, you must know that your ability to love is embedded in your revelation of being forgiven of God. As a Child of God, know that the world is in dire need of the light you carry. You owe the world love.
Stop loving with your eyes. Love with your heart
(2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Galatians 5:4-6 KJV
Verse 6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

In closing, This is the *order*. It’s sad that we’ve turned the order around. We want God to love, we want social media to convict and we want to judge. Please repent.
