Man may judge all day long; however, man cannot condemn. Do not be overly concerned with other's expectations and rash judgments. Take sincere judgments as grace. Remember, however, that irregardless of the judgment, there can be no condemnation from man despite how our circumstances may appear. To God is all glory and power. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus! The only one with the authority to condemn frees us from condemnation, offering hope, life, love - His joy and peace.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; ![]()
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
