Guilt is a gift fro God, He uses it to let us know when we did wrong or made a wrong choice. God gives a guilt because He wants us to be better, the devil would whether us never feel guilty about anything and do as we please. So if you feel guilty or bad a something, than you probably made a bad choice, did something wrong, are doing something wrong, or hurting someone you know you shouldn't be, basically God is telling you that you know better and need to make things right.
So I say all this to say, I do not feel guilty one bit for fighting for my friendship with her. If nothing else, I feel confident in it. Because I know what I'm fighting for is right as I have no ill intentions towards anyone about it at all. The devil will pace thoughts and assumptions in your head to cause pain to other people, God will not, but God will allow the devil to tempt us, as it's God's way of testing us to see how true we are. I will fight for this friendship until I die.
I do not judge anyone by their skin, sex, looks, money, status or any other physical or earthly factor, in fact I simply do not judge anyone at all. Judge not lest thou be judged. Trust me, we're all going to get be judged one day soon enough. Know I try to get to know someone, watch them, talk with them, learn who they are. Because in the end, we're all the same, we really are. We may have different experiences or memories, but we all bleed, we all have the same fears, we all want love, we all just want to know everything in going to be great, we all don't know the future. So personally, I see us all as equals, I'm no better than you, and you are know better than me, nor are we any worse than each other.
Understanding is a big part of who I am, I realize people hurt, and try to understand their perspective, and while I can never fully feel their memories, I can do my best to understand and respect them. But to label a person one way or another based on skin, sex, looks, money, status or any thing like that is wrong, no matter what the cause might be. Hate is hate, hate is evil. God doesn't even hate the devil, think about that, I mean really grasp that, He loves the devil as the angel he once was, it's the sin God doesn't approve of.
Is racism and sexism real? Unfortunately it is, there will always be people of all races who arbor ill feelings towards another for superficial reasons, rather they be justified or not. And although people may never admit it, racism comes in all colors, sexism comes in all sexes, some get more exposure than others, but in the end they all are wrong and sin. You can't change everyone's way of thinking, but you can slowly change the world by changing yourself and showing it through your kindness and actions. Live by example. I honestly would love a world where skin and sex or any of that other stuff didn't matter, we would be better off, but until people of all races and sexes let it go and be in the past, it will always rear it's evil head. History is meant to be a lessen, not to be forgotten and repeated.
Live right, live true. I try and I do. I will never feel bad for who I am, and what God made me, because I know I try my best to treat people right no matter who or what they may be. I am nobody's enemy, I am not everyone's friend, what I am is a fair man who believes in treating everyone fairly and the way I would want to be treated myself. Violence doesn't bring the dead back, in fact it often leads to more death, true change starts from within, I'm not saying be quiet, no, in fact I encourage you to speak up, but remember to do it in a way that would make God smile. Remember God sees all, hears all, and knows all. Respect each other, and they will in turn respect you, and if they don't, then pray for them, because in time we all will be judged by God himself.
I don't feel guilty for fighting for my friend, I don't feel guilty for other people's sins, I don't feel guilty for treating people fairly, I don't feel guilty for who I am. Don't teach hate, let the hate die now in this generation, teach truth and respect, teach people live life the right way through your actions. What I say sounds easy, but I promise it is harder than you can imagine, you will be hurt, you will be taken advantage of, because there are people who are evil out there, but I promise you if you do right and act right, God will reward you either here on earth and when we go home to heaven. God is real, believe me I know.
