"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Don't

Have you ever met someone who is so irritating that u wish them out of ur life immediately they step within your comfort zone?

I recently heard from a few friends that they felt this way towards certain individuals in church. I am often appalled by such declarations. I appreciate their honesty and saddened by some people's lack of regret for habouring such thoughts towards another human being. I regret to say that I was like that and sometimes these thoughts do cross my mind. I don't think there is anything wrong if those thoughts flash across our minds, but if we habour them and harvest them, it will only weaken our own spirits and witness. Do we dare tell God that we're more righteous than Mr Arrogant? May we never be because we might be entertaining angels unaware.

I like to imagine the scene in heaven and Jesus came to me and said "I was there but u never accepted me. I was that dude that didn't fit into your scheme of things. I didn't wear fashionable clothes and I only listen to Mozart..." Will I say to Him, "When Lord? When were u like a geek..."
May we never hear those dreaded words "Depart from me" from the lips of our Saviour. So don't ever tell someone to "depart" from your presence, give some time. It's not wrong to excuse yourself if u are genuinely busy, just explain and I'm sure they will understand. Don't ever do it and then say in your heart "I am glad to got rid of him"

DON'T... DON'T ... (Elvis comes to mind now)
