Titus

You have asked Your followers to be polite and caring towards those who attack and vilify believers. You have said a day of judgement is coming and Justice will prevail. It is not my responsibility to speak quickly or rashly to those who oppose Your truth.

I am asked to be slow to speak, and gentle but honest in all my responses.

Recently on social media, a professional man was challenged publicly with Ad Hominin attacks on his reputation. His reply was, “I care about…what the Lord thinks and I am perfectly comfortable with my reputation before my Lord.” The perfect rejoinder.

Lord, help me remember You have not called on me to win an argument. You have called me to consistently speak the truth gently…in love.

AMEN

Scripture: “…slander no one, do not be contentious, be gentle, showing every consideration for all people.” Titus 3:2

To receive unconditional love….love unbounded by any conditions…unending love is only available at the cross.

I am overwhelmed by Your love for me…a failed human…without anything to offer in return…You love me.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because it’s who I am!” you answered.

I can’t explain it…it flows to me unceasingly…it’s crazy love. When I realized that You looked at me while I was torturing You and offered me unqualified forgiveness, all I could do was fall to my knees in amazement…and accept Your gift from heaven.

You have been faithful every moment. I am always in Your care; even when I have mistreated You and taken You for granted.
You offer love to every fallen human…and keep offering it even when we reject it for the counterfeit love the world offers. Empower me to tell the lost world.

AMEN
