My brethren do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
Today Father as I think upon these words as written in the Epistle of James, I ask You to search my heart. Do I show grace and mercy as You did without favoritism? And do I really comprehend just what it means in this crazy mixed-up world? You have admonished us that is we really desire to fulfill the royal law we must love our neighbor as ourselves, but if we show partiality, we commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. Lord, I guess many are living under judgement as there is much violence and hatred abounding. Wars and rumors of wars of what I could not say but am grieved by how much we have fallen away from Your goodness and grace. The desire for power and control drives individuals and nations to a perilous end. We have lost our commonsense and are blinded from the truth. Jesus, help us for if we ever needed You it's now. May we speak and do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. By Your Holy Spirit may we practice love and mercy so we may triumph at the judgement seat. May there be a trembling and an awakening for those who have not shown mercy to know the truth they will not receive mercy. Lord may our faith be purified as we pass through various trials showcasing our belied in You is accompanied by works. May all glory and honor be Yours as we exemplify You in our words and deeds. Amen.
