A Love Letter to the ‘Judgmental’

-


Hello, I’m Light. Welcome to—


A Love Letter 
To Those Who Struggle 
With Judging Others:

“May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.”
Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God doesn’t condemn you for being judgmental, beloved. God loves you compassionately, understandingly, graciously, tenderheartedly, unstoppable-y, unendingly, more than you know. God, your Father sees each and every one of your struggles, worries, frustrations and concerns, and knows the difficulties of overcoming being judgmental. He takes pity on you. 


God doesn’t condemn you for being judgmental, beloved, nor is judgmental who you are. You are defined by His love, and His Word, and His sacrifice. You are holy, pure, spotless, righteous, forgiven, and made in His image.


God doesn’t condemn you for being judgmental, beloved. Instead, the Shepherd of your soul passionately longs for you to come boldly to the throne of grace— to expose your failure to Him, to be gathered into His arms, the arms of your Shepherd, to feel His comfort and warmth, and to find rest in Him. 


God doesn’t see you the way others may see you through the lens of hurt from judgmental commentary. God deems you purified, and purifies you through His Words of compassion and the gentle, freeing conviction of His Spirit. You are free. Peace is yours. Be gracious to yourself just as He is. Forgive yourself just as He has. Allow God to purify your heart.


You are not condemned; you are forgiven. You are pure, and being purified by the Spirit of God. 


In service of the Father, 

And partnership with the Holy Spirit,



Scriptures

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.”
Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“The People of Light” (I) | Light and Darkness

In this day and age, it is unlikely for one to be unaware of the suffering being experienced globally.  We all hear the Earth as she groans.  To preserve our sanity, many of us have covered our ears. Situated within suffering is a peculiar body of people whose hope appears inextinguishable.  Within the Earth grimacing at chaos rises a contrasting melodic sound.  With one voice, the people sing songs of joy and triumph, shifting the atmosphere.  Their words and hands share healing.  Their stories of enduring dark pasts inspire.  Even in dire heartache and grief, their recovery is sure.  Their peace remains unable to be permanently stolen.  Despite the steady decline of society’s circumstances, this people declares resolute, “It is well”.  If they have had and are having the same human experiences as the rest of the world, how do they live beyond the suffering? These people are called the People of Light, Children of the God of Israel. ...

You Have to Start.

“Fear tries to convince you that you can’t do what you were born to do. It makes you want to run from the opportunity to break that cocoon and enter a new stage of responsibility, showing others whom you were really created to be.”  — Tanänia Reid      I know how it feels to be where you are; afraid of starting. I know that you are scared because, as I write the second sentence of this blog, I am. Regardless, I have to start. You have to start. We have to start making our dreams happen. Time is valuable, and our timidity is expensive. We have too much within us not to give our all, especially to those who need it. The Ultimate Catalyst      The fastest way to get a man to believe is to give him proof of what to believe in. I figure that it would be hard to believe in the wind if nothing ever swayed. Belief in the unseen is born from its physical representation. Therefore, it is impossible for others to believe in the gold within you if it is unsee...

Spiritual Warfare - An Introduction

Hi, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction  War:- “a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.” (Oxford Languages) War is synonymous with warfare, and spiritual warfare adopts this definition. Spiritual warfare is an unseen reality of armed conflict in the realm of the spirit; one between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God.  “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].” — Matthew 11:12 AMP Like all wars, spiritual warfare involves violent attacks, plunder, weaponry and casualties. Due to destinies, purposes, possessions and people’s lives being at stake, it is important for those within the Kingdom of God to be knowledgeable about and equipped, experienced and trained in spiritual warfare. Those of the Kingdom of God must have an awareness and be learned on how to engage and be victorious in spiritual warfare. Sadly, ...
