This is Only a Test

Look, people have problems. Something has got to be wrong with all of us. Forgive and move on. Some people seem to be angry about some unknown offense. People may have things from the past they need to settle. You can't make someone take an inventory of their lives; all you can do is forgive people and attempt to love them in their weakness. Most people do not seem to know how to accept and express love. Love will tell you off sometimes, but in the end it restores and gives hope. This is a test. Use the love that God put in your heart. (Rom 5:5) The true test of being spiritual is loving the unlovable and forgiving the unrepentant.
Take it with a grain of salt.



I Peter 4:1-5 ;8



1.
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2.
As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
3.
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do--living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
4.
They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you.
5.
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.



8.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Repent, Forgive, Move on . . . . . .
