Warning out Of Judgement or Love?

Helooo people!..2nd post of the year..lol...anyway, I've been going through a rough time. A time in which i think God is working to remove the impurities in me that I may be pure. And Yes there are a lot more of impurities which I Still see in myself and I'm allowing this Refiner's Fire to clean me up..I know it's gonna be super hard to go through, but by His strength and ONLY by His strength I will overcome.

Anyway, what I've been facing this week is this. It starts with a call from someone very close to me saying, "I feel uncomfortable with the way you quote scripture.

WHAT!!!

I LOVEEEE to quote scripture and now you say you are uncomfortable with me doing that? (that was exactly what went through my head at that moment) And you know, when it comes from someone really close it actually PRICKS! =/

So of course I had to look into it as u never know God actually uses people to tell you your errors when you ain't listening to Him. And I went to get a second opinion. And yup, this other person said i was to judgmental and that I should try to see things from other people's point of view.

OK !! SO 2 people kinda like confirmed with me that something was wrong with me. And I asked God on what is to be done and whether or not I should tone down when warning people of God's judgment or against lukewarmness. And as I read my bible, I was at:

ezekiel 3: 18-19 - When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. ¹⁹ But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.

So in conclusion is this:

SORRY

to the people who have been offended by me when I quoted scripture and seemed to be judging you or if I was to harsh and did not understand you or your situation. I'm sorry I could not think of other stuff to advice you cause to me I thought that by sharing with you God's way, it could help you out in your situation and sorry cause I don't know much of other methods. All my methods only come from the bible cause I don't really read other books.

HOWEVER

I will still not condone sin or anything that goes against God's ways no matter how you tell me your situation is cause if I did condone it, I would be in deep trouble before God. And like what the verse said (Eze 3:18-19), I do not want your blood on my hands.

BUT

If ever I do warn you, I'll warn you out of love and not of a judgmental spirit. And I know i might fail someday or sometimes but right here right now, I give you the permission to tell me if I sound to judgmental. Help me to learn how to tell or warn in a loving way.. Thanks people. Would really appreciate your cooperation with me on this. =)

Learning to Love,
