ReplyDeleteMy Mother, Mrs. Charlena Marie surely, goodness and with mercy certainly with consistency, often said to me, " ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE< you see, He's Judge,The Jury also The Executioner, as we talked, I learned, ONLY GOD decide if we will go to heaven or hell? I remember times of judging folks, now that I study my scriptures. I begin say something that I've done myself and open my mouth to say something, listen, The Lord shut me down before I begin to speak and I thank him, he has brought me a very, very long way and he's not finish with me just yet.
