When Jesus was on earth as a man, He didn't stay away from those that needed Him most. He wasn't hiding in a building full of like-minded people; No, he was out in the streets, loving people wherever they stood, whether they be standing in the deepest "you know what" or not, He stood with them, accepting them for who they were, He didn't ask them to do what was right before He'd love them. He'd Love them so that they'd want to do what was right. I try my best to live that same way. You cant force discernment onto someone, they have to develop that within themselves with Gods' help. Denying them your love and presence simply because they aren't where you stand is wrong. No matter the circumstance. If only the world, Especially Christians, could follow in the footsteps of Christ and apply what they read in His word and sow only Love into peoples lives, the world would be a much more cohesive and beautiful place. One should never make someone feel less than or inferior to because they live differently. We are each at a different section of our journey with God. Whether you're at the starting point or have already reached the destination, you are one. One body of Christ, one family, and the Love shared between you should reflect that.
