Unfortunately it’s supposed to heart that way.  I know they told you just a sting but the that is the unfortunate thing about lying.  Falsely adding your own spin, when it means someone else has to absorb the responsibility for your wicked craft, it’s the same sin, doesn’t matter if a good hearted person does it.  Injuries from the back or within the group always hurt worse and penetrate deeper than those coming from the enemy.  But that is okay, they mean well and they will come around, besides what they meant to hurt will be used for the good of God’s Plan.  The idea is to be calm, saunter on and enjoy victory, clean and bandage any wounds and take the pain to the Lord for tempering.

I am not your savior, your rescuer, your Priest or Padre.  I am a man who has been telling you what the Bible says we are supposed to do.  Please do not internalize that to mean that I am telling You, what to do by recounting what the Bible says we all should do.  Yes, I must acknowledge that if God told all of us to do something and you are not doing that something then you will naturally feel a tug of the Holy Spirit’s conviction upon your heart, but that may not, cannot and is not coming from me. You do what God is telling you to do and mention that I have directed otherwise is an unfortunate prevarication or projection designed to cast your guilt, blame, excuse or reasoning upon me as messenger.  I love you but don’t make me the scapegoat because they are not necessary in the era of Grace.  Any judgment of any of us is the Lord’s Prerogative and I will leave all that to him.  If you don’t do what he has been telling you to do then you will deal with him on that.  If you are doing exactly what he is telling you to do then good for you but it is also not my job to judge your efficacy or compliance, only to love and encourage you.

These are the days when these things really matter, because as the Bible indicates we may be in the days of dwindling minutes left upon the opportunity clock.  The Bible says we must work in the day because the night is coming when the work may not be done.  Therefore, it is incumbent upon me and every disciple to get about the work and encourage others to get about the work that the Lord has directed for each of us.  What that work is, how you do it or how completely or incompletely you perform his tasking is your affair.  I love you and will encourage, support and hold you accountable for getting to the work in a timely manner, beyond that I have no nor want no further authority.  Thank God that I am not God, but simply a servant of the same. In Jesus’ Name
