Sunday Hugs.
Sending out hugs on this awesome Sunday morning. Please remember those who are sick and hurting. You all have a great great day today!!!! Love ya!!!
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,' every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'"
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:9-12)
All too often I have caught myself judging another. If not outloud, in my mind. It is not our place to judge others. As He tells us here, EVERY knee shall bow, not just the guy that we think is doing something wrong, but every knee...that means me too. We will all confess that He is Lord. We will all give an account of our lives. I have to remember this each day. It is so easy to sit in church and say "so and so needed to be here to hear this message". Well...I have come to realize that if I am listening to that message it is for Carmen. There is always something in a message I hear for me. Not always to correct, but sometimes to confirm, teach, or lift me up. We can get many many things from a message if we do not sit and think about what someone else needed to hear. We need to think about about what is being said and how we can apply it to our lives.

I read this before church this morning--during my morning devotion. A wonderful message--thanks for sharing.
