I wake up every morning, pray, then post my message of the day on my website. Once that is done, I log on to some of my favorite social media websites and post my message. In the course of doing so, I see what everyone else is also posting. Ninety seven percent of the time I see happy, encouraging and uplifting messages. This morning when I logged on, I saw messages of doom, gloom and judgement. One extremely judgmental individual even had some sort of ominous message about hanging on by a thread and being gone. I have posted several times in the past about this:

May I remind people that Jesus came to save the lost and not to condemn them. At this time, let me remind you of a parable of Jesus:
"He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:1-10
Learn a thing or two from this parable. It is not wise to judge others and criticize them before you know their life's story. Even then, a spirit of love and forgiveness must permeate your demeanor toward others. Pray Blessings over people, not condemnation....!!!
