My Jesus Girl Lesson


I started keeping a little journal by my bed, I occasionally write in it people that I am praying for, things/people I am thankful for and things that have changed in my life from a year ago. I also write bible verses that I find lovely or meaningful to me at that time.  
Last night something told me to look at Romans 12:12, I wrote in in my journal and kept reading Romans 12. The next verse (Romans 12:13) is "Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." I wrote that in my book, I continued reading and also wrote Romans 12:20 in my book, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink."
This morning I received a message about someone in need and would I be willing to help them. I instantly thought, I disagree with a lot of things the person does, so much that I "hid" them on facebook so that I no longer "had" to see their posts. I am always skeptical to just hand money to people, especially if I disagree with what they may do with it and/or believe they can do a better job of taking care of themselves. 
Well, after thinking about it, I remembered those bible verses I wrote down just twelve hours before. (By the way, This family that could use help is not my enemy at all.)  It is not my job to judge people or condemn them because they may not believe the same way that I do. Who am I to say what is right and wrong?!? 
Needless to say, I did my part in helping them and all because God led me to the decision last night by triggering me to look up that verse and think about it. 
God "tricked" me, just kidding, he taught me a good lesson. <3 span="">
Sometimes trying to be a good Jesus Girl is hard and humbling.
