My children, there has been a hardening in your hearts towards those who you feel are not where you think they should be. You have forgotten from where you once were and how you got to where you are today and where you are headed. Instead of being so judgmental, critical, and haughty towards these people, ask Me and I will show you their hearts. I will give you the compassion and sympathy that you need for them that just need a little more patience.

There is a time and season for what people can be taught and how it should be taught. You need to get out of the mentality that everything is about you. Just because you understand it, know it, and live it, does not mean that someone else is at that level. You have allowed doctrine to cause you to think that you have to lower yourself to their level and stay. This is not so. I want you to understand this day there are ways to teach others on their levels without going down to theirs. Do not put restrictions on Me because you refuse to lead those who really want to serve Me and just need the extra patience and compassion.

You do not teach a drunker that I love them and they can overcome their sin by becoming a drunker with them. You do not teach a drug addict to turn from their wicked ways by dabbling in what they are involved in. You cannot help a person who has sexual perversion by involving yourself with them and joining in their activities. You speak to them with compassion, sympathy, love, and understanding and bring them up to your level with patience by showing them in My word and by the way you live. Do not underestimate how much of your life can be a lesson to those who learn by seeing.

This hardening of the hearts and lack of compassion and sympathy for the sinners and for My children with one another is because of the lack of patience. My children not all results happen in the suddlenlies. It happens in the right time and in the right way.

If you would just let Me have your hearts totally and completely, I will soften them and the fire and desire to draw people up to your level in Me and climb even higher would become hotter, brighter, and overflowing. Not only will you know how to be patient and understanding but you will also have the discernment on what is needed at the time and in the hour for motivation. When you put your faith in My expectancy and not in your own, you will not get so agitated with those who are not living up to what you think. You will be able to let it go because you will then see with My eyes on their hearts.

Now understand this, just because you have compassion, love, sympathy, and patience does not mean you will not have to be stern and discipline at times. Do not allow the enemey to twist what I am saying to you this day. You must understand that My body is lacking these things and it is causing stumbling blocks to those who I am leading to a place where I want them so they can fulfill what I have them to do.

I want you to check your hearts this day and allow Me to soften them with compassion, sympathy, love, and understanding. Let Me do the works that needs to be done so you can completely see with My eyes their hearts and have the patience that is needed in this time to continue to encourage them to go further with Me instead of causing them to give in to defeat and discouragement.

My little ones understand that the enemy attacks the love walk constantly and this is why there is always work to be done with your hearts. Let Me continue to do the work on your hearts. Let Me continue to show you how to teach and lead others on the path that I have laid out before them. Do not allow yourself to stay with a hardened heart or become unteachable. Let Me do the work so that all of this can be avoided.

“So watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Luke 17:3-4)

“who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
