Someone once said to Bill Johnson, Pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, CA...
"I notice that you never talk about people.
You never talk badly about people.
I'm wondering what's going on in your heart. How did you discipline yourself to NEVER speak negatively of other people, even people who are sometimes a pain?"
Bill, with tears running down his cheeks, said...
“I fear Jesus in them. I fear that I would speak badly about someone made in the image of God, someone who is so valued by God that Jesus died for them.
I fear that I would portray them as something less valuable than that.
I fear how God would deal with a person who would betray the people made in His image.”
Be a blessing to someone today...Let your lips bless, and not condemn.
