At some point and time in our lives we all have been wounded and broken, by some circumstances or situation. Be blessed and encouraged as you read!
Drug addicts, drunkards, prostitutes, homosexuals and lesbians. Yes adulterers too, backsliders, backbiters and all liars are the reason why Jesus died to save deliver and set us free. For the word says in Romans 3:23 " For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, " At some point and time in our lives we have all been wounded and broken, by some circumstances or situation. It may have occurred during early childhood, it maybe transpiring at this very moment in your marriage relationship. Your best friend may have betrayed you. Maybe you are being persecuted on your job. This list can on and on no one is even aware that you are broken and wounded. The time has come to have compassion and love for drug addicts, drunkards, prostitutes, homosexuals, and all liars too. It is time to pursue after them with compassionate hearts, for God loves them just as much as He loves you. Understand that your Heavenly Father did not make you the Judge. For on that Great and dreadful day of Judgement Jesus Christ will make that separation.
We must refocus our attention on Jesus Christ, and the way He treated people. He went out of His way to meet with the woman at the well. Jesus even touched and cleansed the leapers, He had dinner with Zaachaeus, the dishonest Tax collector. Saul of Tharsus before he was converted persecuted and killed the Christians, thinking that he was doing God a favor. Yet God through Jesus Christ restored and forgave Saul and changed his name to Paul, who became the greatest Apostle for Jesus Christ, it is all about soul winning! Jesus came to mend the wounded broken hearted, yes He came to save heal, deliver and set us all free. It is so important to remember that you were not born saved, and that you and I messed up on God at some point and time in our walk with Him.
I challenge every born again believer and doer of the word, to change the way we treat sinners. We are to follow Jesus's example and impact each life whose path we cross, and with the compassion of Jesus lives will be transformed, for the Kingdom of God! The broken and the wounded will be completely saved healed and delivered, you in turn will become a happier you.
