Hey my dear ones, I want to remind each and every one of you that stereotyping does not belong in a church. It is normal to subconsciously categorize things automatically, but if you recognize this pattern of thinking in yourself, please work on it with Christ. Above all, I find it incredibly sad that especially young people and new church members are often doubted in their faith. Young people are thought to understand nothing, and new church members are assumed to be at the beginning of their faith journey, even though one cannot judge what these people have already experienced. Such opinions and much more are held by far too many people. When I first attended my church at the age of 14, I was immediately asked: "What is your opinion on the subject, you don't know much about it yet." These people didn't know my name, not my age, but immediately categorized me as an ignorant confirmand (which I wasn't anymore at that time). But anyway, what I want to say is, please do not judge the relationship with God of strangers, you have no right to do so. (Only God is worthy of that) There is already too much division in this world, we as a community should stand out. Every comment made to humiliate someone can lead to people losing faith in Jesus. A person who is 7, 10, or 16 years old may have understood more about faith than someone who has been walking with God for 20, 10, or 80 years. Prostitutes or people who believe in other means outside of medicine may have understood more than mega "holy" Christians. I pray that this message reaches the right hearts. God's blessing🤍

Bible Verse for this Prayer

James 4:11-12

Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
