Romans 2:1 - 'Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art
that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things.'

We, as the body of Christ, must learn to be patient with people. We must*learn that every one is not gonna get it right all the time. And when they*are babes in Christ, they will behave like babies! One of the worse things*that can happen to a believer is spiritual amnesia and forgetting their infant*years! When a saint of God forgets their flaws and past mistakes, they*are of no good use to the Kingdom. One reason is because you lose your*sensitivity to people and that causes you to think and act like you are better*because of where you are now versus where you came from. That is wrong!*Don't you know that when you behave that way you lose opportunity to help*or minister? If you cannot feel or understand the people that you are surrounded*by on a daily basis, then how can you help them or be in position to be approached by them?
*
Here is something that we must always remember. We are only where we are by*the grace of God. We are only what we are by the grace of God. And had it not*been for God, we would be a sinner, on our way to hell! That is the "check*yourself" phrase that we must apply to our lives on a daily basis. The world*needs us and they are dying without us. So, we cannot afford to lift ourselves*up and feel like they are better than others in anyway. That's when you are in*danger of a fall. When you feel that you are better than others, then be*prepared to be proven wrong! God does not support our efforts to get glory*before men, so when we get to that point, the enemy has legal ground to*sabotage us and knock us back down to earth! Again I say, be patient with people.*Yeah, they may get it wrong over and over, but so did you. Sure, they may*not follow your plan to the "t", but neither did you! Okay, they may get on your*nerves and make you sick because of their constant disobedience to the things*you are telling them, but so did you! What you are judging is usually what*you were doing. So be careful, and don't lose your sensitivity to the fact that you are*blessed to be where you are and you must allow others the opportunity you had*to get it together.
