I understand that we all know that were not perfect…because there is only one perfect and that is Jesus Christ our Lord..Mark 10:18..even Paul when speaking to the church in Philippi….He says to them, not that I have already apprehened, but he says this one thing I do, and that is forgetting the things which are behind me, and pressing toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, he tells us to walk as examples of Christ….Philippians 3:12-17….we are to be lights for the Lord…we are to not ever be a stumbling block unto our Brother or Sister in Christ..1 Corinthians 10:32…we are to be the ones in whom lifts up and encourages others along the way in their journey and in their walk with God…see a lot of times though people use and cling to this mentality well were not perfect…but only to justify the sin in which their commiting and doing towards others and in their own lives with Jesus….we should never use that as an excuse to sin…even the women that was caught in adultery the Lord forgave her but He as well tells her to go and sin no more..John 8:11…a mistake is one thing…but a continual sin towards people…and continually sinning in your life…than that is just not right..and or is it Godly…so know that the Lord says He would rather spew you out of His mouth…He tells us to not be lukewarm…but to rather be hot or cold..Revelation 3:16-18…isn’t that like us….we would rather someone show their true self in which they are…other than wear a thousand different mask…cause you never know what your dealing with…God says to beware of them that come to you in sheep clothing but inwardly their ravening wolves….for He says you will know them by their fruits..Matthew 7:15…so if your a Christian than by all means don’t take it lightly the way you live and the way you treat people…cause God doesn’t take it lightly…we are to grow and to mature in Him…we are not to remain the same…we are to be different…and when others are with us then they know that something is different…not because we may dress differently…or even look differently….but all because that Jesus Christ is living on the inside of us…we should strive to be holy as the Lord our God is holy..1 Peter 1:16…and we should strive for perfection..Philippians 3:12…and set aside this mediocrity…this barely getting by so to speak…and really get serious in who we are…and just what exactly were doing for the Lord…cause everything and anything we do for Him matters…people are watching you…and they will follow after what it is that you yourself are doing…and always know that trust and respect is two of the hardest things to obtain and two of the hardest things to get back after there lost…for a good name the bible says is rather to be chosen over great riches..Proverbs 22:1…I would rather be me, than to be fake, and or to be anyway that the Lord would not be happy for me to be…so be you, be free, be content, be happy, and please Jesus…in everything and in anything it is that you may or may not be doing…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen!!
