You indicate that the statement here is more for encouragement than judgement. I fail to grasp the encouragement of these words. These verses and other similar verses in the New Testament have always made me feel like I may be taking the easy path, I am not doing enough or the right things. Yet, I believe God loves and accepts me for who I am and what I can do now. The judgement verses always leave me feeling not quite good enough. So I would love to be able to see these verses as encouragement vs judgement. TeriTSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018050574242323042noreply@blogger.com
