Right is Right . . . No matter when...

You know --one of the things that I feel people and the church handle the wrong way --is very simply --Change...

We are horrible --and Im guilty too-- of looking at peoples' past and putting them in a box...

The example I'm talking about is this...Someone is living a certain way we dont agree with..then they reach a place where they want to do better and they start changing their lifestyle...what we like to do is say---"Yeah --youre not doing it today --but you thought it was fine yesterday"---and we chalk it up to them being unstable...
We have ALL been there at those crossroads---if youre life is good now--it only means you stood at that point of decision before and chose the right road...so we should root for people--cheer for them --bring them up and say "Congratulations" ---youre doing great...
Dont ever forget---You were there once and probably many times before..

and to quote Stephen R . Covey...

“Until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise”
