Let them see the heart in you that didn't harden
We love because He first loved us

Hi Soul 🌻
Recently I have thought a lot about how Jesus died to give you, me, and everyone free moral agency.
Freedom to do what we want.
I do what I want to do.
You do what you want to do.
Everyone does what they want to do.
And there’s nothing you can do about it.
“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.”
Jesus gave us this gift of freedom with a call to not judge others for how they use their freedom, but to love them like He loved us.
“We love because he first loved us.”
Here are two words to meditate on…
Let Them
Just let them.
If they want to choose something or someone over you, let them.
If they want to go weeks without talking to you, let them.
If they’re okay with never seeing you again, let them.
If they’re okay with always putting themselves first, let them.
If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, let them.
If they want to follow the crowd, let them.
If they want to judge or misunderstand you, let them.
If they act like they can live without you, let them.
If they follow the flesh and not the Spirit, let them.
