Love The Mess Out


When someone is feeling angry or empty, the last thing they need is for someone to be critical and judgmental. Being judgmental toward someone who is hurting can lead them to hurt even more. It can push them away from the love of God. The goal is bring people to God by loving them where they are. Let God do the fixing. The Bible says for the rest of us to have faith and love. Galatians 5:6 NIV says "the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" The only thing that will help someone is stepping out in faith and operating in love not pointing the finger.
We are free to walk in love but people can sometimes forget to do that. For example, telling a young teenage girl who is pregnant she should be ashamed of herself is not operating in love but according to the flesh. Instead choose to find a way to help. Offer to take her to a doctor appointment, pray with her or provide a meal. Be that example, that light in her life. These acts of love will open the door for her to receive God in her heart. 
You may be the only God that people may see. Treating people without love doesn't represent Jesus. As a parent, we want our children to behave, especially when they are around other people. Of course, we don't want our children to get hurt or be disobedient for their own sakes. We also want our children to represent us. When people see our how children are, they know how we are at home behind closed doors. We have to represent God the same way by walking in love toward others. Make God proud and present Him well.
Galatians 5:13-14 NIV says " You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh rather, serve one another humbly in love.  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
We can save one another through love. Love the mess out of someone.
