The Perspective of Love

Judgment falls to those who judge, but it isn’t the judgment of salvation–it is the judgement of your words.

“–For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. the good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:34-37

Judge not, lest you be judged is a spiritual law.

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;–” Luke 6:37

Remember I desire mercy over sacrifice, for mercy triumphs over judgment.

I gave the ultimate sacrifice that you not be judged–that was My mercy for you. Now I call you to be like Me–offer mercy to others; by casting your judgment aside, overlooking what they have done, and give that to Me.

“For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:13

How many times have I spoken judgment in this brief time?

More than you’d care to hear.

Ever notice how many times you cast it about in your thoughts and words?

More than I care to hear. . .

Much more!

Forgiveness is a difficult decision sometimes–and yet, will never be as difficult as what I’ve gone through for you.

Allow My perspective to change you.

If you change your thoughts, you’ll soon change your words.

Judgment isn’t what you hear when mercy is clear. Your actions will speak louder than your words. Forgiveness is a decision to be acted upon through mercy.

It bears repeating . . .

Actions speak louder than words.

Choose forgiveness–have mercy!

That is Love.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. for with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’, when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5

“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. Isaiah 55:6-8 NKJV

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in they sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14

What’s On Your Mind?

Feb1

I AM in all you do, you can’t extricate Me. I have a function in every season of your life.

Think on that.

“-If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” John 14:23

“Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17

Man thinks on Me as only good and not evil; I AM good, but though I don’t create evil in your life, I amplify any evil in your heart for I AM good. Like oil and water the two will separate and you must choose.

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one; but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full-grown brings forth death.” James 1:13-15

Like water and oil is shaken to combine, it may seem as though it works for a time, but this is an illusion that soon separates.

And like oil and water, evil separates from Me.

“Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him; but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

An evil thought divides a heart if allowed to remain.

Friends go separate ways. Families split apart–You must not start!

“From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.” James 3:10

Thoughts must remain, steadfast and pure, for your footing to be sure.

“Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” James 1:19-21

It all begins in the mind.

“For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.” II Corinthians 10:5-6

Think on these things.

Keep your mind pure.

“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4

“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

I AM Speaking

Aug25

Adjust your thinking as if in tuning a radio to a frequency, you can adjust your thoughts to be focused in the spirit to hear more clearly, succinctly. I AM not in your mind, but your mind cannot be ‘drifting’ to hear clearly through your spirit. Just as that radio frequency may drift and, though you hear the sounds, you may catch what is being said and yet you may not.

Focus–be in tune

Seek Me until you hear clearly, and then remain focused until I AM finished speaking. Some wander–their thoughts interfering, right in the middle of My statement. Would you be so rude to a friend or would you be attentive? Do you care to hear what I have to say or are you doubting that it is I speaking to you? Would you be upset if I were to only listen to half of your prayer, as if I didn’t care?

I do care

And it is because I care, that I AM patient and forgiving and I choose to speak again. Will you focus?

I AM speaking

And I would like to speak to you!

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.” John 5:44-45

“So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me; if any man’s will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.” John 7:16-18

“So Jesus said, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me. And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.'” John 8:28-29

“–he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” John 10:2-5

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15
