I may not agree, understand, embrace all changes (man bun clip on?) but I will love you and I will show Jesus' love to you. John 4:1-26, Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well, a woman married 5 times and now living with a man, she was considered dirty. Many came to believe and know his love because he did not judge her, he offered her life and she was so filled she had to share with others (John 4:39-42). As Christians we are not called to judge but we can hold in accountability, however remember in the greatest of trials, when you don't understand, when you feel condemned, when you don't understand, when you are frustrated with a person's actions or words we have so many great scriptures to meditate on.
Cor 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Lev 19:18 "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."
Luke 10:27 He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Mat 22:39 "And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Struggles with accepting gay marriage, sexual sins of someone you know, you child has wronged you, your friend is committing adultery, you witness racism, whatever, as Christians we can lie our burdens at the feet of GOD and he can carry it and deal with it. We can love the other person showing GOD's grace and in honesty reveal scriptures that support behaviors keeping them from the best GOD has to offer and rewards in Heaven, but ultimately our job is to love, not to judge, and be the hands and feet of Christ. Christ was not in pew and a one day week lover, he showed mercy, favor, and compassion 24/7. Be love today.
