Give Them a Break!
“My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you” Galatians 4:19.
We are all in a process. We have all come from different backgrounds and social classes. We have all had different experiences.
Some of us have had very,very hard circumstances that we have walked through so we have a very long way to go in this process. God knows when each one is ready to be healed of the things that have caused us to be like we are.
The Holy Spirit is the one who convicts,convinces,and teaches us all things. He is the precious Comforter as we deal with each level of growth in our life..
So here is what the Lord spoke to me many years ago,and today wanted me to remind you of. He said to me… “Don’t judge My people while they are in their process… Many have been hurt and given up, because older Christians have Judged them in their process.
Many have come from deeper depths of sin than you have. Let Me do my work in My time and you pray them through their process! Give them the same patience that you would want Me to give you in yours…” Selah
“Brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also” Galatians 6:1 (AMP).
