Exhortation on love

When there are problems among those who are trying to walk with God, you cannot say, “This one is right and this one is wrong.” Everyone is under unbelievable pressures, and if they are not, God will soon see that they are. He must put them under pressure; then the negative things within them can come forth and He can deal with them.

We can never analyze one another constructively and honestly; for once God starts dealing with us, the impurities are always coming to the top, as if we were in a smelting pot. We always see the corruption that God is bringing to the fore. As we are exposed to ourselves and to each other, we are appalled. There is no such thing as measuring others and saying, “This one is right and this one is wrong,” because wrong is coming out of us too. We must maintain a right spirit; a right spirit is faith that works by love (Galatians 5:6).

The problems are solved by continually exercising a faith and a love for one another. How can you judge? You cannot. Instead, defer judgment. Even when you see a need, do not put yourself in a seat of judgment, because God is bringing the whole of the Church through His time of judgment (Romans 14:10, 13). You are being judged because you are asking for it. You judge yourself so that you will not be condemned with the world in the judgment that is coming (I Corinthians 11:31, 32).

Refuse to be judged with the world by judging yourself now. The Spirit of God furthers this process in your life. Let God continue it. Do not look upon one another critically, but look upon one another to manifest that love and faith for one another, and to see it come forth to the glory of God.
