2^nd Thessalonians 3:15 and how it applies to all of us!!

      How does 2^nd Thessalonians 3:15 apply to all of us?  The answer is that we are supposed to treat everyone with kindness.  I remember when my Pastor in Toledo, Ohio told me to never treat everyone as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.  I want to inform all of you that I was also taught as a child to treat everyone as an equal.  I will admit that I used to keep grudges and angry feelings towards people from my past.

2^nd Thessalonians 3:15 and how it applies to all people!!

      I have to treat everyone in the same way as if they are all church members.  Do you know that the body is the temple of the living God?  I am a person who treat everyone equally.  This means that I love you no matter what we have done to each other.  I want to say that it is not easy treating everyone with humility. 

What Does 2^nd Thessalonians 3:15 Means to me?

      I have to say that we are not supposed to treat everyone as enemies.  I want to inform all of you that it takes a long time to modify our behavior.  The word admonish means to warn or reprimand someone firmly.  To advise or urge (someone) earnestly.  This means that I am treating you with respect even though I might be angry with you.  I want all of you to know that this takes a whole lot of practice because this is a learned behavior.

         This is the reason why people tend to take a violent way out of things.  If I learn how to admonish rather than take a way out that will cause someone to perish or spend the rest of their entire lives inside of a prison.  I am still learning how to treat everyone equally.  I know that I am not perfect, but I am still learning new behaviors every single day.

      Finally, I want to inform all of you that if we are willing to change our behavior in a positive manner, you are doing God’s work.  I know that I am learning how to admonish another person.  This is going to take a lot of practice, but I am willing to learn about admonishment.  It might not work on some people, but God is with us.  I want to inform you that it will not hurt someone to get admonished.  I know the Bible says that we are supposed to treat each other with kindness.

      In Conclusion, I am still learning how to treat everyone equally, and with respect.  I know that I have come a very long way in my personal life.  It is easier to have a mediator when it comes to dealing with difficult people.  I really love all people and God’s creation.
