You know it doesn't matter what people think of you or this mistakes you have made, because the only one we are accountable to is God. <BR/><BR/>Who are we to judge the mistakes of others when we more often than not refuse to look at our own mistakes, thinking about God Word in Matthew 7:3. <BR/><BR/>The bible instructs to pray one for another, and to hold our brother up when he falls and it shouldn't matter what mistakes have been made, because we ALL fall short! <BR/><BR/>The amazing thing is that God still loves us and teaches us to love each other the same way that He loves us, in forgiveness and without condition. <BR/><BR/>By HIS stripes we are healed, and we think about that in a physical sense most of the time, but our hearts need healing, our courage, our faith and hope as well, which can be more crippling than some of the physical things in our lives. But know this my friend, You are not alone! As a brother (or in this case a sister) in Christ, we all share in your pain. <BR/><BR/>He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone... I will walk beside you and stand firm as I call you brother, in front of the world. I will hold up your arms and lower you down through the roof, you are my brother, and there is no mistake so great that God won't forgive, who are we to change the rules? God tells us to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, I so need to be forgiven too!<BR/><BR/>Where one door is closed God will open another! Be encouraged my brother, Jesus said it is finished and won the victory at the cross! Keep your faith as you walk through, and know that even though we can't see it now, God always has a plan! <BR/><BR/>I love you my brother, hug your precious wife and know that our prayers and hugs are with you always!<BR/><BR/>ALWAYS in Christ<BR/>Sista Chris<BR/>Lubbock, TXLynnaeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302158042510858447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904017926319949331.post-67859502490057719762008-10-15T23:08:00.000-07:002008-10-15T23:08:00.000-07:00Incredible!
