James 4:11
“Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.”
Approaching winter, It’s still canning time. There’s carrots, corn, tomatoes and the list goes on. We put the contents in a jar and put a label on it.
“ABOUT LABELING OR JUDGING GOD’S CHILDREN”
Do people have labels . . . Not by God. We are honored to be given a Name by which people can address us. Our name is honored by God.
Unlike our canned jars with labels, we, from birth, can expect to expand and grow, physically and spiritually. This is how God honors us, loves us and grows us.
It’s not until we open that jar of canned food, that it can can do the job the food is intended to do . . . It takes on new life, nourishing us and finally fertilizing grounds.
Honoring God and Honoring His Name, we have no use for labels for each other. Loving, nourishing and praying for each other, allows all of us to grow, expand and be whom God wants us to be. We can’t fix, heal, save nor love in the way God can but we are purposed to Honor by doing God’s Good.
We are actively in God’s Hands as He honors us by giving us a chance to be “More” . . . “More” of a friend to Him, More of a friend to ourselves and More of a friend to others . . . We are to lift each other up in Love and Prayer so we can be Honoring, Loving and Nourishing as Jesus would do. Jesus does not Label but invites all of us to be “More”.
