DAY 210:

“Have you ever been told that you or someone in your family is dysfunctional? Or have you ever made accusations or judgments against another person or family as being dysfunctional?

‘ Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?’ (Matthew 7:1-3).

Self-righteous Christians can often be heard decreeing whether or not people are functional or dysfunctional based on knowledge they have.. Oh, this person is divorced, this one had a baby out of wedlock, this one committed adultery, this one was an alcoholic, this one smoked dope, the other one still smokes cigarettes… blah blah blah.. STOP IT!! Those are not thoughts or words Jesus says.. When the woman in the Bible was caught in the ACTION of committing adultery, Jesus questioned her persecutors.. “You without sin… cast the first stone..” The crowd dispersed.

‘And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,’ (1 Corinthians 13:13).

‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another,’ (John 13:34).

What the world and self righteous people deem “functional” still fails in comparison to the standard of God’s love. The greater truth is, if you are not working to become perfect in love like God is, you are dysfunctional!! Stop using your mouth to assault people and learn God’s heart and ways… the opinionated judgments you grant others will come back to you in the same measure!! Develop love and learn to see the best in everyone and give your best to everyone too..!”
