Good morning, ladies.
The Lord has impressed upon my heart to bring up this topic. In CF, we have wonderful ladies in Christ - ladies who are zealous about our faith in the Lord!
However, sometimes it seems that we can exhibit a less understanding, less kind spirit towards each other when we disagree. I am guilty of this and pray for forgiveness from the Lord and beg forgiveness from all of you. Surely, there is nothing wrong with taking a strong stance both when we are in agreement or disagreement with a particular topic. We should always stand for the truth and be willing vocalize our dissent where there is error. But my hope is that that we conduct our discussions without resentful or accusatory tones and that all we say and do will reflect Christ's love for us.
May we all endeavor to show Christian love to everyone we encounter here and beyond.
Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Proverbs 15:33 - The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
1 Peter 3:8-9 - Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Matthew 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
May God bless you all!
