THE WAITER IS NOT FEELING THE LOVE...

Greetings -

I found this from a commenter on a website today (NBC Sports).

This is some of what a waiter had to say about Christians who patronize where he works:

"I'm a waiter at a high end restaurant and the Sunday after church crowd is the grumpiest and worst tipping bunch all week long."

He went on to state that those who golf on Sundays and come in to dine are merry and generous tippers.

Note: I did NOT intend to read the subject comment as I scanned the comment area. As I moved swiftly to the next comment, the Lord clearly told me to go back to read the subject comment.

That is a clear message to us that the Lord is displeased about the lack of love shown by those who are called by His name.

To the Lord:

Lord, I believe that this is a season where Your judgments are going to manifest more against church people who claim You as Lord but do NOT walk in love. You have been longsuffering with this matter. I sense that you are saying, "Enough is enough." You have informed, and warned - the next measure is judgment from You because You require holiness from Christians. Holiness cannot exist without love in demonstration.

Father, please forgive us for not loving as we should in accordance with Your Word. You have told us that without love we are nothing. We need to heed what You command about love because it is unacceptable to You that we do not steadfastly practice love.
Judgment from You is a definite if we fail to heed Your warnings about the vital need to show love steadfastly.

Love needs to be elevated...

And for those of Your people who do habitually demonstrate love, please promote and reward the faithfulness to Your Word.

Thank you, Lord - Amen
