Least they trample them and attach you. Shall the recipient prove themselves to be a pig or potential?
Proverbs 25: 12b “an ornament of fine gold is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.”
Classic warming verse. Important to consider when deciding to engage or not: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Matthew 7:6 KJV
Should we not in love, first attempt reconciliation testing the waters, since God would see all repent. He has more joy in the lost one sheep returning than the 99 that stayed in the flock. May we bring joy to God in assisting the returning of all willing sheep.
“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 ESV
God grant us the ability to love like him and field a trampling and rending willingly for His sake. As Christ did for us.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV
“God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.”
Matthew 5:11-12 NLT
“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,”
2 Timothy 3:12 ESV
