Yeah. And not only that, but a lot of why we've grown to become more receptive of correction and take accountability. I really do believe is because of the loving kindness that is displayed through the spirit of God in the people who we've chosen as our mentors because or who God has placed in our lives as our mentors.

Because scripture literally says it is the loving kindness of God that leads a man to repentance. Yeah. Your condemnation, your harsh words, your mean attitude towards what I'm going through. Here's what I'm going to tell you from experience. When I was dressing very immodestly, I had people throwing stones at me. It wasn't until...

this woman in my church, she was like, Hey, like, I just wanted to add, I can't fully remember the conversation, but I remember like her being so kind about it. And like, really just like, it's just, you're in, she was talking more about my spirit than she was about my outward modesty. And that really convicted me, but it was her kindness about it, her language, her voice, her tone about it.

That made me want to change. Yeah. Forget all those other people who told me thousands of times, you shouldn't be doing that. You shouldn't blah, blah, blah. That didn't make me want to change. In fact, it made me want to rebel a little bit more. I'm going to be honest. But it is truly the loving kindness of God that leads someone to repentance. Condemnation is never going to make anyone change.

You see something wrong on the internet. You see something wrong in your friends. You see something going on in the congregation that shouldn't be happening. How are you going to approach that? For sure. Like, you know, and people can sit here and be like, oh, but Jesus flipped tables. Well, you ain't Jesus. Yeah, you're not Jesus. You ain't Jesus.

And it's like always approaching people with kindness or how I would want to be spoken to because I know from my experiences, kindness has always been the reason I've desired to change. It's the love.

And kindness is not tolerant. That's where people get it mixed up. It's like just because I'm kind doesn't mean I'm being tolerant to your behavior. It's actually I'm empathizing with you and I see the spirit for what it is behind you and realize that I'm not warring against flesh and blood. It's against principalities in the spiritual realm.

So what you were going through with like immodesty or living in secularism, whatever it may be, that wasn't actually you. That was a bigger spirit behind you. But if people are going just to attack and feel this self-righteousness and this like fair say a coal in their heart, then they're going to condemn you and you're going to receive it as condemnation. Right.

But they come, I know what scripture you were talking about was second, second Timothy, uh, chapter two. And I think his verses 24 through 26. And it's like his loving kindness is intended to bring you back to repentance to what? To remove the scales up out of your eyes and to remove you from the trap that the devil has ensnared you in.

So you can no longer be a vessel to do his will, but now do the things of God. And I think it's, um, like I even have a similar testimony to with the modesty thing. People would, cause I was an influencer before I was an influence for Christ. So people were on, as I was, you know, getting safe, people were on my page throwing stones at me and I never heard any of them.
