    Oh, how I love your last sentence! We have so much liberty, true freedom, if we allow ourselves to fully see that it's all HIM, nothing of us! You sound like a precious and true friend.

    I love the way you put it. I sent her an email yesterday apologizing for my tone of voice and the way our conversation ended . I shared with her that I care for her very much and I didn't want her to feel like I'm pushing my personal convictions on her. Her response to me was very kind and she too apologized for getting angry. When friendships don't turn out like I would like, I just run to Him for direction, correction, and comfort. My prayer was answered and their is peace. Thank you Jesus!


    Boundaries are very important, I CAN love in spite for disagreements. Seeing her through His eyes is my hearts prayer. I try to always remind myself that the only difference between us, is that I have accepted His love and forgiveness. Where would I be without Him? I have to remind myself every now and then. Self righteousness will keep you in bondage and it steals true freedom.

    God is the one who has condemned sin and tells us we are also to condemn it if we are walking in His ways . so . we agree with God on His judging all sins and those who live in those sins. ,God has also commanded us to Judge all things. Judge False prophets, and Judge Righteous Judgments. we do not judge according to appearence .And it is God who condemns not us . we just agree with His Condemning those who live in their sins
