I read a saying last night and it said this, “May the absent always be safe with you!”….isn’t that just a wonderful saying, and isn’t that so true….nowadays people doesn’t feel to safe at all….but the saddest thing is that when we as christians don’t feel safe with other christians….all because of the gossiping and the talking about behind their backs so to speak when their not in there presence…Philippians 2:14….so a lot are left with the fact that they never trust anyone, and for some they begin to label and they begin to talk about other christians all for the fact that were doing no different than the people whom doesn’t even serve God….if we are children of the Lord…than we should never make anyone feel insecure with whom they are…and we should never leave another person doubting us and not trusting us…we should never have to explain ourselves with someone…in order to prove what we do and don’t do…others should see our steadfast and unwavering life that we all should be living for Jesus..1 Corinthians 15:58….and we should never talk about anyone else, no matter what…even if it is with our spouses, we shouldn’t be discussing and or saying things about anyone….for one it’s not our place to judge no one…and for another thing, if we have a problem we should take that problem to the Lord and lay it there before His feet….and than get up and leave it there…..but we are to love, and we are to be caring and compassionate individuals…if we are not than were never, ever gonna shine the light of Jesus for others that they may see….so don’t disregard them things you do behind closed doors…because everything we do and say matters, but more than anything it matters to Jesus….and we should know that with what measure we judge someone else, it will be judged back on us..Matthew 7:2…so quit looking at others and saying things about them….things that aren’t really any of our business…and quit judging them….and quit wearing a mask and pretending to love when on the inside it isn’t lining up with the outside….be real guys…and always be real….if you have a problem talking about people…than you must pray about it….don’t be someone that others can’t trust….we represent Christ….and we should always be a safe place for someone to be able to come to…and never should others shield away all because they don’t feel safe when they leave our presence….so let us all rise and walk in integrity..Proverbs 10:9….we are to shine like nothing else….we are to be whole in all areas of our lives…and we are to grow and mature daily in our walks with Jesus….if we continually do the same things, than that growth and that maturity never comes, and we don’t get to witness and be that light shining ever so brightly as we should be…all because we choose not to be….we reap what we sow in life..Galatians 6:7…and a lot never move forward all because God has to trust you….and trust you with everything….if He can’t trust you over little than He will never make you ruler over much..Luke 16:10…and our hearts have always got to be focused on people…loving them unconditionally..and always being a help never a hurt to anyone…so once again if we wouldn’t say things in front of someone than it should never be spoken behind their backs….for our goal should be just as the saying had said, “May the absent always be safe with us!”…..In Jesus” name I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
