by GRACE i'm free... =D
This is what i read in my devotional book today during quiet time... its about an online chat between this girl, Jamie and Ashley.
"Remember that guy in my science class i told you about?"
"Tim, right?"
"Yeah. What a jerk! He's constantly picking on me. I'm so fed up with it, i can't stand it! This guy hates everyone! He'd just as soon spit on you as say hi to you."
"Whoa! Have you invited him to youth group?"
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope."
"You couldn't pay me to invite him to church!"
"Whoa, cuz! Even though he's a jerk, he's also someone Christ died for!"
"Well, someone else can invite him. I can't stand the guy."
"But, Jamie, think of it this way: If no one shares the gospel with Tim, he could end up in hell-forever seperated from God."
"Okay, i know this sounds terrible... but i'm just being honest. Ashley, Tim deserves hell."
"So do you, Jamie. So do i. We were all born with sin, remember?"
********************************************************
After reading this.... i was like kinda 'woken up'..... we... no... i often judge people that they did this or that or whatever... and think that this he/she does a lot of 'bad things'... and is a worse sinner then i am.... the fact is... there is no worse or better sinner in this world... everybody sinned... and that makes everybody a sinner all the same.... a big sin or small sin is still SIN.... and we don't deserve God's love... its by God's GRACE through faith that we are saved... and not that we deserve it or not... there's nothing that we can do to let God love us more... OR less...
*Lord.. let this be a reminder to me that i don't deserve your love... help me not take your love for granted... and thank you for loving me for who i am... =) *
