"Remember"

God says, Remember, how it was when you were young and all the hateful stuff you did, how you lost your virginity and all the sexual stuff you've participated in since then.

*paraphrased from:

Ezekiel 16:22 NCV

Remember, how it felt to, not be where you are now.

Remember, how it felt to, not have anybody and to be left alone to your own devices. 

Remember, before you chastise your teen for doing some of the same things  you did.

Remember, before you look down on that person that doesn't have anybody to help them do better.

Remember, how it felt, when it was you and talk to your teen from that place..As though, it was you and not them.

Remember, how it felt, when it was you sinning and operating outside of the Will of God for your life and talk to people from that place.. As though, it was you and not them.

Simply Put: Before you point the finger, remember how it felt to be the finger.

Remember, God, he corrects those he loves...Real agape love is associated with Godly correction. It's not rooted in anger, accusations, and judgment.

Heb 12:6 CEV

I firmly believe, there would be far less depression, isolation, suicide and self-hatred...If you just remembered, we just remembered from which we came and showed more compassion/mercy. YOU HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN THE PERSON YOU ARE NOW and neither, have I.

Therefore, Let us remember: The LORD is kind and shows mercy. He does not become angry quickly but is full of love. The LORD is good to everyone; he is merciful to all he has made.

Psalm 145:8-9 NCV

Therefore, Let us remember: The bible admonishes us to treat others (all others, no exceptions) the way we (ourselves) would want to be treated.

Luke 6:31 NASB

You might be a "so-called" saint now, but you were once just a young sinner in need of help, love, mercy and forgiveness, in order to successfully find your way in this life, as was I, just like them.

Remember???

Until Next Sunday.
