The questions have been asked, when do we get there? When do we really arrive? The answer is simple, we don't, and we might as well enjoy the journey and help others as well in the procession of life. <o:p></o:p>

John 5:17  Amplified
But Jesus answered them, My Father has worked [even] until now, [He has never ceased working; He is still working] and I, too, must be at [divine] work.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are always at work, always have been at work, and always will be at work towards the eternal purposes of almighty God. We are a work in process, and hopefully in progress, thanks be to God! I am so thankful I am where I am today, I am so thankful that I know Him more today! I am also thankful that I am not complete,  and that I have so much more to go towards the process of Robert Ricciardelli living in the image of Jesus Christ. That process will never end!  When we get this revelation, we can never truly ever say we have arrived and that we have become accomplished in the ways of God! <o:p></o:p>

1 Corinthians 10:12   Message
Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.<o:p></o:p>

Brethren, we must catch this, for it may be the very revelation we need, to break through the dividing tactics the enemy has used against the family of God. I have used this before and I will use it again here, "I know what I know, I know what I don't know, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I DO NOT KNOW, UNTIL THE FATHER REVEALS IT.  We must always take the road of humility and love in regards to what we know and in regards to where others are in their processing of God's Truth. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

1 Corinthians 13:10-12  NKJV
¹⁰But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. ¹¹When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ¹²For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.<o:p></o:p>

We leave our churches and friends behind when we are misunderstood, we get offended so easily when someone does not agree with us or have our revelation of the way things are. Aren't we mere children needing to grow up in Him? We are not there yet my friends, and if we are not there yet, then how can we stand in judgment of another child of the living God's process? We cannot, we should not, and we must not! They may be where we were last month, they may be where we were 10 years ago, and it does not matter, for we are all in process! And this is the wonderful humor of God, we may think they are where we were 10 years ago and they may be way ahead of us in many areas. I pray right now for you to get this revelation. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

You might say, "But brother, you do not understand, they do not speak in tongues, they are not free like I am to jump up and down for Jesus and run around the aisles."  I would say to you, "can you see the heart of any man?" Can you see the depth and width God may be bringing that person through? They may not speak in tongues but may run circles around some with their integrity and purpose in the Christ of their lives. Only God is called to judge, we are called to pray, encourage, befriend, and love one another unconditionally.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

If we get this, we can look beyond knowledge, beyond, doctrine, beyond denominations and truly see God's children for who they are, GOD'S CHILDREN! <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

You love them where they are, <o:p></o:p>

You love them near or far,<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

You take them under Your wing,<o:p></o:p>

And guides them through everything.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

You see in them what they will be, <o:p></o:p>

Give us eyes to see what You see.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Father help us to judge them less, <o:p></o:p>

And help us to love them in the process!   R.R.<o:p></o:p>

Folks, we must understand the words of the foundation of everything we are and everything we will become…�?.Our Lord and our Christ, and it is printed in red in most of our bibles, for added emphasis…�?<o:p></o:p>

The Greatest Commandment
Matthew 22:34-40   NKJV
³⁴ But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. ³⁵Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, ³⁶"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
³⁷Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."  ³⁸This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."<o:p></o:p>

This is Jesus speaking, and the blueprint, the message, the very communication from God, all of it is there for us to really get hold of these two commandments. Can we do it? Can we choose to live life with a heart of un-offense? Can we choose to love when we do not understand the why, what and how of another of God's children. I know we can, because I believe in the Holy Spirit that is within you. I believe that as we humble ourselves and die to our will and our ways, He will then be able to guide us into His will and His ways. His path will take us the way of love, the way of un-offense, the way of unity, and ultimately the way of showing this world a church without spot or wrinkle, because the Christ in all of us is who they see. Love them in the process in Jesus name!
