We continue to love one another, but don’t take that as a justification to stay in your mess. You’re not here for yourself or even others, you’re here to honor the Father in your actions and words. A weak moment, pushed through by rebellion, is no excuse to disregard the principle of honor. Emotions or not, we still represent the Father to those around us. We may not care in the essence of pleasing man, but they are watching. If we instead please the Father, then it won’t matter that they are watching.
“(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:9-10.
