Scripture

Romans 14:1-12,19 (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

You are not a judge. Do not judge. Everyone is accountable to Me. So what if others do not talk the way you think they should, wear what you think they should wear, or go to church as often as you think they should. What you  think is irrelevant in terms of what is right or wrong for others. They are accountable to Me as are you. I want you to love others without condition and strive for peace.

What I said to God

There are times that I do have to remind myself that Your way of looking at and dealing with people are not always comparable to my way of looking at and dealing with people. Your way is better, much higher, than mine. You are sovereign and I would do well to align my ways with Yours.
