BLESSINGS FOR EXTENDING KINDNESS

My Dear Precious Child, Kindness and peace are always some of the required attitudes of My children. Paul told the Romans that if someone only has faith to eat vegetables that My children who are free to eat everything must be patient and kind to them because they are limiting themselves in honor of Me. So you must not destroy My good work that has been done in them by judging them or correcting them. He reminded them that all foods are clean but it is wrong to eat when a food offends another person's conscience. He wrote that you are acting kindly if you abstain from eating meat or drinking wine or anything else that offers your brother as an occasion for stumbling or that weakens him in any way. He said to use your faith as a rule of life in My sight because every person whose conscience does not condemn him is happy. But the person whose conscience has negative feelings about eating something, then if he eats it he is condemned by his conscience because he is not acting in unity with what he believes. Whatever a person does that does not line up with in his or her belief is sinful to him or her and it opens the person up for defying his or her conscience and opens the door to the condemnation from the devil. (Romans 14:20-23) Paul reminded the Romans again that people who are strong in faith should be patient with the beliefs of the weak in faith whose limitations upon himself or herself are many. You must not be selfish to go ahead and eat or drink something that is self limited by another person. Everyone should please his neighbor so as to do him or her good by building up his or her spirit. He assured them that everything written religiously before their time on earth was written for your instruction, so that you might derive hope from the lessons of patience and the words of encouragement in the scriptures. He prayed that I, the source of all patience and encouragement, would enable you to live in perfect harmony with one another according to the spirit of Christ Jesus so that you will glorify Me, the Father of Christ Jesus, in perfect harmony. (Romans 15:1-6) So as My children you must accept everyone just as Christ accepts you, and do it for My glory. Christ was made a servant of the Jews because of My faithfulness in fulfilling My promises to the patriarchs, and the Gentiles glorify Me because of My mercy. Old covenant scriptures say that Gentiles should rejoice and praise Me, all of the Gentiles, and sing of My glory. Even Isaiah said that the root of Jesse would rise up to lead the Gentiles and in Him would the Gentiles find hope. Paul asked that I, the God of hope, would fill you with all joy and peace in My hope, so that through the power of the Holy Spirit you will have hope in abundance. (Romans 15:7-13) It is through praying in the Holy Spirit that you are built up in hope and faith. (Jude 20) Your Father of Wise Instructions
