Fact: As the Bible itself makes so clear, God‘s Love is far beyond the limitations you &<br />

yours place upon it. He is God – the heavenly Father of Jesus Christ, and as such His perfect<br />

LOVE is without condition (see Matthew 5:48), his Mercy is without limitation (see<br />

Luke 6:36), and His Forgiveness is without end (see Matthew 18:21-22) …<br />

―The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast Love. The<br />

LORD is good to all, and His compassion is over all that He has made.‖ ~ Psalms 145:8-9<br />

―I will not execute my fierce anger … For I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your<br />

midst – and I will not come in wrath … [As such] when you search for me with all your heart,<br />

you will find me.‖ ~ Hosea 11:9 + Jeremiah 29:13<br />

―Ask, and it will be given; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened<br />

for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone<br />

who knocks, the door will be opened … And thus all flesh shall see the salvation of God … So<br />

it is not the Will of your Father in Heaven that not even one of these little ones should be lost …<br />

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:7-8 + Luke 3:6 + Matthew 18:14 + John 12:32)<br />

Fact: As Jesus himself makes most plain and explains so clearly, neither he nor his<br />

heavenly Father judges or condemns anyone for their sins – ever!<br />

―The Father judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son … You judge by<br />

human standards; I judge no one … I do not judge anyone – even he who hears my words and<br />

yet does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to show it salvation.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (John 5:22 + John 8:15 + John 12:47)<br />

P.S. By the way, my dear Friend, you cannot correctly speak of others‘ need<br />

of humbling themselves while simultaneously refusing to humble yourself. Indeed, it<br />

is impossible for you to truly LOVE them as long as you are doing so! Just sayin‘ …<br />
