They will know you by the fruit you bear.
Not by your title.
Or position.
Or follower count.
Or size of your church.
Or how well you can preach.
Or socioeconomic level.
Or denomination.
Or political affiliation.
Or resume.
Or family name.
Matthew 7:15-20
Christians.... it is so easy to want to be petty... it’s tempting I know haha
But we must rise above pettiness.
We need to rise above back-handedness.
We need to rise above passive aggressiveness.
Pursue communication, reconciliation, forgiveness, listening, finding resolution.
God often calls us to wait for His promises.
Noah waited 120 yrs for promised rain
Abraham waited 25 yrs for the promised son
Joseph waited 22 yrs for the promised dream
Simeon waited his entire life for the promised Messiah
Keep trusting. God may seem slow, but He's faithful.
