I wept tonight

This afternoon has been full...lines of people to talk too...just my duty...

However one person wanted to talk about doctrine and all what this person called doctrine. This was not the first time the person came to me and went on and on...I listened and the person told of how holy they were and all the things I do that are sin...
Finally when I could say something I told them I wanted to relate a story that happened in my life many years ago...
Richard and Sabrina Wurmbrand were in Brazil and I was asked to translate for them in several large churches in Brazil...I gladly did that but my most precious memories where between services sitting in living rooms or where ever just talking to these precious people.
My visitors had been ranting and raving about trinity folks and how lost they were and saying cruel things...
You know I said, I have never been in a communist prison and have never been repeatly raped by cruel guards and never had my son taken away from me or my husband in another prison for 14 years and being told time and time again he was dead.
I have no marks of the whip...no scars from beatings, saw no one executed for the crime of loving Jesus
Sabrina's mother, father and brothers were murdered and when the man that committed the horrible crime confessed to her that he was now a Christian she fell around his neck and they both wept together…
By that time I was weeping and saying, I am deeply thankful for the truth, deeply thankful that I know who Jesus is however when he comes back to judge I hope Richard and Sabrina stand far in front of me or far behind…for I have no scars to show Jesus like my friend Sabrina had…no stories of prison guards…no stories of blood thirsty lustful men raping me…
NO, my friends you will never get me to say one cutting cruel remark about those that may not have had as much light as I have…
Someone could take it no long and said to my accuser, “how many trinity people have you ever baptized?” The person stuttered and did not reply my friend continued, Our missionary has baptized whole churches in Jesus name and never made a cutting remark…

Matt 7:1-2

7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
NIV

Acts 17:31
31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."
NIV
