Free At Last ( Part one)

 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth, not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he givet] God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth God thanks. Romans 14:1-6

Set Free!!!!

There it was. The passage that I had been looking for. The one that had set me free. I was at a critical time in my life. And though I had been saved at a very young age, I had pretty much turned away from God as I grew up. Even though I still believed in Him.  And so at this time, having gotten back to Him, my faith was pretty weak. It was verse 1, that really spoke to me because it was right where I was. And yet, the leaders of the church were tired of me evidentially, for not being the person they thought I should be. Maybe I tainted their church because of my sin. Maybe they hoped I would leave.

I didn't know. But I had left not long before this time and the sense of peace that come the day I had read this passage, was so worth it. 

For the first time, I was totally free! And ecstatic could not come close to how I felt that morning!

It had been they that was wrong. And not me. They had no right to judge me. Especially having made no attempt to speak with me first about what they thought I was doing wrong.

To clarify what Paul was talking about in these verses, I will post a part two and go into that. So please come back next time for it. Thanks for coming by. God bless!
