HALLELUJAH! LOVE THE LORD GOD! LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   WOW!  Ever have those dreams that are REAL, or feel real.  I was in a gymnasium or auditorium filled with people and we began singing HALLELUJAH!  But it was sang softly the first time, a little louder the second, louder at the third, and the fourth time was sung at full volume.  We kept singing this over and over.  Then the second verse came in:  Jesus is LORD, and did it the same way.  I woke from my sleep with praise in my heart and a smile on my face.  WOW!  Okay, enough sleeping.
  This came to me in my prayer/devotional time.  What we, as Christians, tend to shun or hate.
    Homosexuals, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
    Murders, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
    Adulterers, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
   Liars, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
   Thieves, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
   You and I should not covet our neighbors wife, house, car, material things, but pray our heart is right.
   People with tattoos, don't hate them, but pray for them and give them friendship.
  People who look different from us, don't hate them,  but pray for them and give them friendship.
  People with different attitudes than yours, don't hate them, but pray for them and give them friendship.
  People who have other 'gods' before them, don't hate them, hate the sin, but pray for them and give them friendship.
    We, as Christians, tend to put people and our life in 'boxes' and if it does not fit our perception or our 'box' then there is a strong tendency to condemn.  What does Jesus say, the greatest commandment to love the LORD our GOD with all our heart, mind, and soul.  Second, to love thy neighbor as thyself.  If we, you and I, do this and Christians everywhere did this - man, what a wonderful world this would be.  Come on Christians, unite, spread the word and love your neighbor.
In Christ's Love and Grace

p.s. why do many people shun church and Christians?
BECAUSE OF THE "CHRISTIANS".
