Who We Are "Love 'em or Hate 'em"

Do you love others or judge others… 


Who are you cross with?  Who just gets on your nerves even when they are doing nothing but being themselves?  Here is a better question who do you judge?  We all have people who just bug us and we don’t even know why?  Could it be that when we feel this way about people we are being a bully?  

Think about it when we don’t accept people and we judge them we are being a bully to that person.  Maybe we think that we have the right to judge, because they are well just different, than us.  Matthew 7:1-2 says this: 1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Okay there you have it we are not to judge.  Even if we think we have the right, we don’t, if you believe that you have the right to judge, then you need to check who is telling you have the right.  God or the thief?  It won’t be God so the only other choice is the thief and we don’t want to listen to him, because he is a lier!  

So what are we to do?  How are we suppose to handle the people who in our mind don’t just fit into our world?  Check this out John 13:33-34“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” We have a responsibility as Christians and that is to love one another.  Jesus does not say love those that love you but we are to love one another, and when we love others people will know that we are His children.  Wow that is going to be tuff, but understand this the job that is before you was never meant to be easy.  It is tuff and it causes you to depend on Him for the strength to do the job that He has given us to do.

On the other side of things what if you are one of the people who are not getting love, and well you just don’t know how to fit in?  Well the same thing goes for you, you are to love others.  You are to carry yourself as a child of God and love others.  The moment that you depend on God to help you with all the problems that are going on in your life, the faster you will find freedom.  We tend to accept the labels the world gives us and that causes us to act and behave a certain way.  We must rise up and love, others.  This will change you from the inside out.  We must trust God for all things, and when you do that you will find that loving others will help you more than you ever thought it would.
