Prayer Of The Week

IN MEMORIAM

Judge Not

When we set ourselves above another, we lose the chance to win him as a brother. For God so loved the world, we know it’s true, so therefore, we should love the whole world too. We love the Lord because he first loved us, and seek for others in his name to trust. But when we treat the sinner with disdain, we lose the chance to honor Jesus’ name. For Jesus came to save the world from sin, and I, though guilty found relief in him. Now I know that my goal should always be to love the world as Jesus has loved me.

-From Prayers From a Sinners Heart by cottager Clayton Frost
