I told someone "My page is not for you. Go and be blessed." after much ridicule on how lengthy my post was about there being "only one judge". This person who claimed to be a Christian then responded to my comment by describing me as, "an evil, witch, rude, attention seeking, weird, bag lady who writes dry and boring rants, is a whore and a devil worshipping mess".....
The Word says: "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
So what is in this individuals', heart?
The word also says: "By their fruit you will recognize them (my sheep). Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"
So what fruit does this person's spirit bare?
Are they baring "....Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness?...." (Galatians 5:22)
I wanted to share this with everyone to just help us all to remember to be mindful of our tongues. Please; when you read a post, even a lengthy one, just think for a moment before quickly commenting whatever comes to your mind. First Stop.... pray about it, and if what you wanted to comment originally is not something rooted in the fruits of God, or meant to build up God's people, then I ask you kindly but firmly that you not say it. There is no need to darken an already dark world. Let us be salt and LIGHT. There is either the presence of God in what you are saying/ doing to others, or there is the presence of satan.
I am not hurt by this person's actions, so much as I hurt for them. I respond not in anger but with compassion. Because I know that they do not have the Agape Love of the Father in their hearts, nor does their life reflect that of the Spirit. This person is lacking, void of God's presence; and that is a truly sad state to be in. It's a very lonely place to be in. So I pray for them. I bless them with nothing but Love. I don't know what they are battling inside or what demons they are fighting but it is a spiritual war out here and I know it's not against me, but Christ in me (John 15), and same with all of us who face this adversity from those we try to reach for Jesus. Just love them. Love your enemies (or rather Christ's enemies) most. They need it more than anyone.
I know that my posts can be long and I understand that for some, they don't like it to be too lengthy, but I have to post what God places on my heart. I cannot shorten it. Every word He wants me to say, I must be obedient and say it. But you are all entitled to your own preference. I would never force myself upon you; and if you would prefer shorter posts all the time, then my page just may not be for you, and that is more than okay. I still love you and bless you. You don't have to follow my page. I would hold no ill will towards you for it, should you decide to leave the page. I would still hope the best for your life and your walk with Jesus.
But please for the sake of those who come here to this page, seeking hope and encouragement and guidance to help them in their walk with God.... THINK, before you speak under my posts. Think; Does this need to be said? Why do I feel this way? And then once you have established an answer for those questions; then go and test my words by all means; test the messages I have written, see if they are true. Don't just take my word for them.
The whole point of this page is I want people to seek Jesus for themselves, and to help people better understand how much God loves us. I hope that from here on out on this page and in life, we can be more respectful to one another and leave opinions out of it, and just focus on Loving God and Loving each other. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this (also lengthy) post. What can I say? God made me a writer and so I must write. God bless you! I pray that God uses each of you in a special way in your lives and that you come into your purpose in Him and grow exponentially in His spirit, further embracing His love and just flourishing in all that God has to offer and wants to do in and through your lives! I LOVE YOU! GOD LOVES YOU! We all matter to Him. Sinners and Saints the same.
Let us be Salt & Light in this dark world! Xo
Sincerely, Bri
