The fine line

   Today I am grateful for the people in my life who listen to my confession without judgement, and who listen to my convictions without feeling judged. These are true friends and Christians. It's a fine line between holding a brother or sister accountable and in feeling judgemental, and it's a hard line to walk. I have fallen on the wrong side of it before myself. And as a baby Christian more times than I would care to admit. I felt that what made you a Christian was in standing in judgement of others actions and in feeling superior in saying well mines not as bad as hers. Well guess what kids your's is as bad as their's. God says a sin is a sin. Matt:7:2 says very clearly for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. So thank you again to these Christian women who hear my confession and give only encouragement toward better choices next time. And thank you to these women who can hear my admission of the convictions God has lain on my heart without feeling as though I am standing in judgement of them. I thank my God he has placed these women in my life. It's good to have a safe place to be transparent and discuss your walk with others. If you don't have a place like this I pray you find one.

   God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
