The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The idea you can put a label on the people around you seems so judgmental, how can we, inferior to God label and judge those around us. We are all battling our own demons. My fiancé said to me earlier this evening that we were bad Christians. While this may be true, the switch from secular human beings to Christians that have to follow so many new rules we had never encountered before is one of those tasks that takes time to stick. I am fully aware of my wrong doings and consistently pray from the Lord's forgiveness.

My point here is, if you are truly repentant, God forgives even if those sins you struggling to conquer keep coming up in confession. At the end of the day, it is not for us to judge others but to centre our focus on our loving relationship on God. Therefore, if you are feeling discouraged I have this to say- do not give up, God's love will conquer all, do not focus on how good someone is or how bad as you have no idea of where they have come from and what struggles they face.

I hope this finds somebody who needs to hear this, and feels comfort in knowing that whatever your past and your current sins God loves you.

Please pray for me.

sending my love and prayers,

Elisabeth
