Just some thought.
What shall separate us from the Love of God....... Only us........ Darkness works to entice us. But our own foolishness, our own desire, our want, to want to be ignant. So many people don't want to be told, to do even value-increasing things. And it is all trickling down to the next generation. But some of them are smarter than us. As my aunt says "God not gonna let it all get messed up". She is right, God keeps a remnant ready, to keep it going later.
What we call an enemy is not, quick to trash people. People....... Salvation and Righteousness are processes. Healthy as a safe diet. Yes, it requires clean up and removal of bad ideas.
Love covers alot of faults.Unless it gets tired, so here comes the accuser. The encouraging one was speaking, we didn't trust that advice, it sounded to hard to do and to soft on the weak.We are told "mercy is undeserved victory" "show no mercy". The trick of our spiritual adversary, is to tell us "you got options". Walkaway, no need for endurance, peace is in greener grass, love and joy are around the corner. Faithfulness and kindness have their limits. Temperance, no way, i'm getting this off my chest, I ain't turning no cheek. Except my right one, they can kiss that.
Sad, ancestors delivered from slavery, for offspring to treat each other this way.
But the Servant of God came looking for fruit on the tree and found none. No praise unto God! The tree that bears no fruit, is cursed to wither, be cut down and cast into the fire. It served not its master. Whoa!
New wine won't be put in old wineskins. Period. Get reconditioned, then you can get some.
Back to GOD. Back to LOVE.
