"You can show your love for others by not wishing that they were better Christians." St. Francis
What does that mean?
It means that it is not our job to make people better Christians, that is God's job. It is our job to love and welcome. Anytime we meet someone and their is an air of "you need to improve-" we are hurting them.
Yes we must sometimes tell that to employees and our children, but when we do it just because we think we are right and someone else is wrong, then wounds are inflicted.
Release others from your preconceived notions about who they are and what they are doing. Love them and place them in the hands of our loving Father.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
