When you see a person stuck where you used to be, pray for them. Don’t judge them. You matured past where they are, so be patient with them. The Lord who brought you out is bringing them out. Don’t rush the process. Don’t think green fruit will not ripen. Don’t judge spotted fruit. Pray for them. Love them like someone loved you. Encourage them on the right road. Someday they may pass you. If they do, you will rejoice and be glad.
“My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” Galatians 6:1a (NRSV)
