DIETS & FRIENDS! SUBSCRIBE
PARABLE:
Weeks of 1000-1200 calories/day yield a loss of only 1/2 to 1 pound/wk. It's embarrassing to know strangers presume I'm a glutton, not knowing about almost 3 years of doctor visits, or of barely-edging up thyroid & correct hormone levels. It's Heartwarming to know True Friends look at Eyes, not Thighs. (Hey a Rhyme!) So I was thinking this AM: I'm discouraged; so What 'Romans 8:28' can God pull outta this?
But they look the same at first.
Often much time passes before anyone trusts, believes the change.
Great example: Chuck Colson, who was accused of pretending a conversion to get support back in Watergate days.
....... The SO WHAT for us:
Yes, God calls us to pray for wisdom and discern (James 1:5 etc)...
but ALSO to be supportive to new Christians.
Like any baby, they'll make mistakes as they grow up into Christ-likeness.
Like any adult or mature Christian, they'll still at times not "look" or even be Christ-like.
.... But God calls us to be True Friends who
look at Hearts, not Faults.
.... A True Pseudo-rhyme.

SO WHAT ??
IDEA: On the day people accept Jesus as LORD, their heart changes. But they look the same at first.
Often much time passes before anyone trusts, believes the change.
