“You must love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew wrote those words in the Bible to tell the world how God expects everyone to be. No mask worn by a viper can conceal a snake from the eyes of God, for he sees everything. Don't accuse me of preaching damnation in fire, because I don't believe in the flames of a hell. Jesus was a preacher and I'm proud to walk in his way, witnessing to those interested and filled with desire to learn his Father's message and what he had to say. Humans dare not judge each other. It's not their right. Only God can read the hearts of men and he alone is the rightful judge of those who do good and bad. Those who think they are clever, pretending to be good may be wolves dressed as sheep, hiding in plain sight. They smile, pat you on the back, seemingly humble, then bite your hand and lick the flesh from your bone. The Apostles argued among themselves, they grumbled which of them would be greater in wielding his power. Jesus was saddened by their attitude but gently he spoke, "This is not the way among you; but whoever wants to become great among you must be your minister, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.” * Contentiousness and egotism are enemies of humility so look deep within and seek a spiritual brotherhood with those crossing your path. We all have the ability to walk in truth and light, making all things right. *Matthew 20: 26-27

It is sad man doesn't learn from previous mistakes. I see so much truth in your words Lin and all too often we are being decieved before our own eyes. I don't know what lies in another one's heart but I know yours is beautiful.
