Some of us have forgotten the images of our days of depravity. We have quickly forgotten what we used to look like before grace found us, before mercy said, 'Live.' Thus, it becomes easy to cast the first stone and forget that our righteousness is not our own. If only we would remember how strayed we were, or how dead we had been, we would not close our hearts; we would be more sensitive, knowing how to love, care, and show mercy. We wouldn't judge; instead, we would advocate for our brothers and patiently bring them into the fold. "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 #love #mercy #kindness #soulwinning

Of every obligation that we have, none trumps our duty to love others irrespective of their disposition. It is human to love those who love us, but it's divine to love those who spite us. "Have I not said that ye are gods?" #love
