Judge Forgiveness 12/4/2011

John 8:7
My church pastor's message today was a great reminder that we should not be so prideful in our earthly positions that we think we are better than anyone else.  We love you Pastor!  Your message has been on my heart all day and I can't help but think even if we aren't boastful in our position on earth, like you described today, we are all at risk of thinking we're better than others and because of that we can cast judgement (of which we deserve an equal measure).  I want to stir everyone up and ask you to think of those you haven't forgiven.  None of us DESERVES forgiveness.  It's only because of the LOVE of our Dad in heaven and His FORGIVENESS that we aren't all destined to hell. I challenge you to think about this as you look upon others and judge them.  Let's intentionally and honestly forgive those around us who have hurt us.  Bring God's love into the equation and forgive.  Our own unforgiveness frees us to live out His will and make a difference.  We need to push down and rebuke our own PRIDE so God's love can make a difference in this world.  Will you join me and forgive someone today?
