"And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."(Matthew 7:3-5 NKJV)
Everyone has something against their neighbor!
Everyone wants their side to be heard!
I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter, who did what! "It" is not about you and anyone - other than God.
Your relationship with God is of paramount importance and your obedience to Him the ONLY thing that matters!
"“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV)
"“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."(Matthew 7:1-2 NKJV)
Do you need forgiveness?
Then you'd better forgive!
You have judged your neighbor to be wrong in the event you are holding against them, (and they may be), however God says don't do it!
He doesn't say don't judge "unless"!
He says "DON'T" - period!
Again it's not about you and them - it's about you and your relationship with God!
All of the drama, all of the chaos, all of the hurt feelings are all orchestrated by the enemy and intended to get you to sin; to distract and separate you from God!
He's done his work very effectively! And he started when you were very young! The hurts you received as a young child, have impacted your every decision, your entire life! It's time to break the yoke you are under!
You need to repent of the unforgiveness you have been holding onto, for so long!
Meet with a trusted friend and confess your sin, repent and let them pray for you!
"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16 NKJV)
You need to obey!
You need to stop making excuses and listening to the lies of the enemy!
Lay down your pride!
Confess!
Repent!
Obey!
Freedom only comes from obedience!
Blessings only come from obedience!
Worship Him in obedience!
True Worship is obedience.
While there is still time!
Even so - MARANATHA!
