If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Here's a couple of comments to the article I'm posting the URL below, worth considering re: the homeless 200,000 in these United States of which 22,000 are in L.A.. The words of Jesus would help a lot of them.

I am currently homeless and have been for the past year. I have a decent job on which I have worked for 17 years. My family are not drug addicts and my children are not delinquents they are honor students and my son just graduated from high school. My husband became sick and nearly died and now is in poor health unable to work although he tries to. I have family but they can't help us and most time won't if they could. I thank God that I have a job and therefore am able to also have health... » more

@Medtationofmyheart "…everyone of them have a story and it is probably so far from the one you have in your mind."

That is exceptionally well-said. We have so many preconceived notions it turns us into a bunch of unfeeling horse's asses.

You mentioned how people feel uncomfortable seeing you, which is particularly disturbing. As if what you're going through isn't bothersome enough.

My best to you and yours.

37“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,f you were doing it to me!’.

.41“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.g 42For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

44“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’

45“And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’..Matthew 25

I spent my most vulnerable years at church with many  Christians who developed that talent ... that kind of self pumped up frolicking

If your picture of God is starting to feel too good to be true, you're starting to move in the right direction. :candle:

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite."

EGW wasn't the first to say it. The principle is found in Isaiah 29:20 and it is called, "watching for iniquity". I have known people like this, that notice and point out faults in others. 

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
