Daddy says LOVE!
Daddy says Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have you? Don't the (re)publicans do the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? Be therefore perfect, even as your Father which is heaven is perfect.
Okay, so you say, no one is perfect. The point is to do your best.
Daddy says,
Sevants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, AS UNTO CHRIST; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with GOOD WILL doing service, AS TO THE LORD, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
And, you masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Yes, God is not a respecter of persons, BUT...
Favor ain't fair, and God will do for some what He will not do for others.
Be mindfull, therefore, when blogging. Speak with Wisdom in your mouth.
Are we doing the Will of God, if we are backbiting like the presidential campainers? Are we singing along, "give us dirty laundry" and "kick 'em when their up, kick 'em when they down, kick 'em when the sh**, kick 'em all around".
We are all capable of making others look and feel less than they are, to make ourselves look and feel better. We shine light on the flaws, that are inherent in us all, and we ignore our own reflections, and it sickens me! "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."
THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD IS TO CHANGE OURSELVES!
