It’s easy to criticize one another. It’s really difficult to find ways to connect with people who think differently from the way that you do.
The things we use to separate ourselves from one another are things that we have come up with. God did not make one person different from another.
We may have different languages, different accents, different colors of skin. We may have different social customs. We may eat different food. We still are ultimately the same.
We are humans and we were created by God for a special purpose. Every single one of us is special. Everyone of us is unique to God. One is not better than the other.
While we are unique to God, we are loved the same. It doesn’t matter about any of our physical differences, he loves us.
We need to stop looking for the differences and concentrate on what is the same. We are all children of God.
Some people don’t know God. Some deny him. Some follow false gods. The Lord God of heaven is the only true God. He is the one that created us and the one that we will answer to on Judgement Day.
We all are in the same boat. We are all sinners and we have no way to redeem ourselves. There is only one way to become acceptable to our Father. There is only one way that our filthy deeds can be washed clean and we can come into the presence of the Lord.
Jesus died and shed blood as a sacrifice. His sinless blood is what can wash our sins away. All we have to do is acknowledge he is God, ask him to save us, to help us to follow after him. We need to repent of our sins and turn our lives around.
He is right there waiting and wants to know you. He wants you to be saved for all eternity. It is up to you. Turn away from the sin of judging others, look at the other sins in your life and know that you have been wrong.
Look to his life and teachings and know that he gave us the example of how life should be lived. While we can never be without sin in this lifetime, we are to strive to do better and better. We are to learn from our mistakes and start over with the help of our Father God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus.
Matthew 7:1-5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
