My Sin is Better Than Your Sin.
We all have a tendency to do this. Right? To look at people who are jacked up, and judge. We look at the alcoholic and think, man that guy is completely screwed up. He must not have been hugged enough.
Or we look at the child molester thinking, I think we should kill all child molesters. (Trust me I have thought it as I think my entire family was molested by someone.) It’s a thin line we walk each day with preconceptions.
It’s not often we look at ourselves in the mirror and think, “Man, that porn addict has really got some issue.” Or, “Man, That guy in the mirror is so jacked up, with all of his pride, we should kill all prideful folk..”
What I’m saying is, God wants us, no… He commanded us to love all people, with all of their sin. Is it hard? Yes. I don’t think anyone ever said it will be easy. Sometimes I think that’s what we think, or at least I did when I became “Born Again”.
I wanted to judge rapists, and not look at myself. I wanted to kill molesters, and live eternal life myself. I am always afraid to look at myself. Truth is, as humans we are all capable of some pretty screwed up crap. Whether it’s over eating (guilty). Being vain. (Guilty) Foul Mouths. (guilty) Alcoholism. (guilty) Drug addiction. (guilty) Murder, Rape, molestation, or abuse. We are all human, and we are all capable of and in need of the same things. The first thing we need to do is separate ourselves from sin. Not him or her, but Me.
We are also all capable of loving, but why is it so much harder to do than all of that other bad crap? Simple. Because Love is NOT of this world. And we are called to be the exact same thing. Not of this World. We are called to Love. We are called to be Christ. Some big sandals to fill.
It’s not possible to do it alone, that’s why we need each other, we need to love each other, trust each other, and Him.
