“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We love reading about Gods love and saying we’re “Christian” but when it comes to practicing it, it’s amazing how quickly pettiness, anger, and apathy takes over. It took me years to realize the resentment and unforgiveness in my heart was holding me back in my walk as a supposed Christian. With all the things I’ve done that Christ has forgiven me for, how dare I look down on another with coldness?

How awkward would it be to go to heaven and see your nemesis there staring back at you… 😂

My prayer for anyone struggling with this mean spirited energy, is that you would see and love others how God sees them. Why do you need to do this? Because God has commanded it. And He also said not all those who say “Oh Lord Oh Lord” will make it into His kingdom. But those who feed His sheep and carry out His will. This walk is not for the weak!

Happy Valentines Day - and May Abba expand your understanding of His love. 💕🕊️💝
