"A worthless person, a wicked man,
Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,
13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who points with his fingers;"
A man pointed his finger at me and said; "I don't respect you." He was telling me that he was not respectable because of the sin of rebellion in his own heart but he thought it was against me. Often the narcissist will accuse us of what they are and we are not. It is their way of deflecting blame to avoid facing their own sinful heart.
I knew this because of the continual bossiness and anger that emerged from this mans lips. There was no end to the domination and disrespect demonstrated.
This same person made disparaging remarks whenever he was in my presence claiming they were jokes.
As I prayed about the contempt I saw in these actions God showed me what was happening. This person had a perverse mouth full of lies and anger, pointing his finger in disrespect while acting as though it were all justified.
These are the times we live in, nearly complete and total break down of honor and respect. Love is a byword in our culture, the true love of God I mean. Love in our culture has more to do with choosing to act friendly to those who give us all we want and praise us ad nausium for the smallest matters.
God's love looks nothing like the love of the world and the devil's counterfeit for love.
The devil's kind of love is without standards, sin abounds and everyone endorses the evil that will send many to hell.
God's love saves from sin and hell, is confident about goodness and desires to help others find this kind of love. God shares and convinces through His principles while the devil rages and demeans.
Its God's love I enjoy and His principles that motivate me.
