Dear Colleen,
The Lord said they that sin little love little they that sin a lot love a lot. He told Simon the sinners would enter the kingdom of heaven ahead of him because of their gratitude and humility. I consider it a joy to learn and not forget where people are and how much they need the love of God.
1 Corinthians 13
1: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2: And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing.
3: And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing. |
