Isn't it a sin and a shame before God Almighty that we look down our noses at each other when we feel that someone hasn't acheived the same status that we have, especially when we're talking about salvation. Wouldn't it be nice if we all just worried about keeping our own noses clean and let God take care of our brotheer and sisters in Christ. There is an old saying that goes :                                                                                                                                         "WE SURE WILL BE SURPRISED WHO WE SEE IN HEAVEN, AND EVEN MORE SURPRISED AT WHO WE DON'T SEE".

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! It's so good to see you, My Dear. Somebody's been waiting to greet you. Bet you can't wait to see who's here. It took him a long time to get here. Like you, he hit stumbling blocks steady. Not that he wasn't trying. For awhile there he just wasn't ready; So we tarried with him for awhile, Just as we did with you, 'Cause you both had a few little problems, Though some were tougher with you; For he knew all about his problems, Had no trouble admitting each one, Quite often acting like he didn't care, Thinking only of old Number One; But most of God's Children have good times and bad, 'Cause nobody's perfect you see. That's why The Lord had to ransom you all, Paying a terrible fee. Now here's your brother, the one you shot down, Time and time again, Welcoming you with arms open wide, Just look at that big loving grin. Jesus reached down and brushed off the dirt, And washed him in His Precious Blood, Just like He did for everyone else, 'Cause you all were covered in mud. Without Him not one of you could have been saved. Without Him you'd all go to Hell. Isn't it great that God didn't see, Any difference twixt you when you fell.

Awesome and all so true. Judgment of leaders...judgment of congregation sinners. No...love love...sweet love. And we do fail, but let’s remember to embrace with a holy kiss. I love me some good writing!
