God will convict and help us to love others if we let him do so. This is what I have experience. Yet, there is so much that I can let go. I constantly get angry at and judge others. Hope that Jesus will help me cause my will is his. Well, our actions and feelings for others is working hand in hand with the holy spirit.

I think we all do. Because the more we try and do what the Lord wants, the more the Devil tries to get in the way of it.I also struggle with these things. So here is my suggestion.... We would never get up and leave the house without clothes on. would we? NO! so...write these "one anothers" on a recipes card or something. and every morning when you get up, read it and remind yourself of these things and then praise God for the work he is doing in you! Just like you would get dressed and ready for the day..we also need to get our hearts and minds ready for the day also! I hope this was helpful. This blog is great! It is so nice to hear that God has us "digging deeper". God bless!!! In regards to your comment Amy, on havig a hard time to keeping to these “one anothers”. I think we all do.

Thank you for sharing. We all encounter people everyday and in this time and season we are in people are different. It is nice to know how we can be the salt and the light to those who cross our path. This list is so important for us today. Thank you for sharing.

Some of these could also be a gentle and loving reminder from our Heavenly Father that He loves us! I need to love myself too even when I mess up and allow others to minister to me. I'll be posting this up where I can see the list daily. As I take steps daily to love one another I'll be growing closer to the ONE WHO IS LOVE! Blessings to all!

Yes if it is in the church we have to correct when we see our brethern sin, but the scriptures on false prophets is about someone that looked like a christian, but was not. So I don't think that applies to brethern. Then we start talking about someone who is a christian and looks like a sinner. Two separate things. As far as judgement, Romans 14:8-13 is talking about judgement and it says, "Let us not therefore judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in their brother's way. Matt. 7:1-2 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Also see: James 4:12, John 8:7, I Cor. 4:5 Romans 2: 15, 16 Romans 2: 1-6, Rom. 14:4 Yes, when we see our brothers fall, we can recognize their sin and we need to go to them and try to restore them. The church has to discipline, but we are not judge and jury, judgement is God's. Yes we can say that its wrong, because the scripture says it is wrong. I don't think that is judgement. Judgement is deciding the penality for sin. Anyway, I enjoyed the devotional and will pick several to remember today.

I go into a very judgmental pose of myself for not being able to go through a day doing a better job at keeping these "one anothers". And it's not a matter of working one just one because they all reflect a Christ-like character that we're supposed to have. Any thoughts?
