Today’s Thought “When I Think of You” G. Ward Galatians 6:1 Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting, but to himself alone, and not to another. 5 For each one will bear his own load. With chants that rejoices upon our Lord’s discipline, given with tremendous love, even restoring us onto the joy intended, as though we’ve never violated HIM, are any qualified unilateral of His help? There however remains an unfortunate witness of our natural inability to administer consistent mercy in the same with one another; until personal insistence submits to the Spirit realm and because we’ve more lived by sight, than faith in His directives, it causes many onlookers to perceive this as an ordinary reaction from the church (i.e. hypocritical behavior). Our having been purchased by the Supreme sacrifice, Christ, can help turn this unfortunate paradigm, expectant of a marginalized view of bad behavior from the redeemed (Gal.5:16-24). God’s desire must be precedent in us and His desire wants their repentance, along with ours. Are you preparing for this monumental task?
