Totally true, people need to witness the love of God in us. And when I step away from myself and the Lord shows me people thru his eyes, I can love them thru Lord Jesus.
Agape love is not found in my flesh, it's a spiritual act of God within us thru Lord Jesus. And where I struggle is when I witness people taking their jealousy, insecurities and self-righteous anger out on other people. I don't care when they take their spite out on me because that's always a great opportunity to get over myself and die to fleshly pride, ya know? And glory to God for that! Praise God for the miracle of growing in grace! \

But man, do I struggle with my flesh when I see someone disguising their critical spirit with a cloak of maliciousness, trying to pull the wool over people's eyes & acting like they are being helpful, yet being mean & spiteful to another member here. These critical folks seem to delight in breaking people down and rallying other immature Christians to agree with them. And if you mention their error to them, no matter that it's in a spirit of meekness, they will turn and rend you, even troll you and nitpick at you out of spite. It's almost demonic!
Anyway, that's where I struggle. When I witness someone delighting in messing with other people's minds and hearts and having no mercy. It's like how the Scribes & Pharisees self-righteously vexed people with constant criticism while boasting about themselves.
The kind of folks who refuse to be corrected but are always correcting others. I usually wind up stepping away from the computer and crying out to God that I know that I know that I know my flesh is always wrong and his spirit is always right. Then he gives me peace and I come back.
Glory to his name!
