Conviction or Control?

Convictions are personal, not to be exactly mimicked and duplicated or used to manipulate or coerce others. I think what inspires me most are people who live right, and love Jesus but don’t push it with words or use phrases like “God told me” to get their way or stop a conversation because they’re too immature or thoughtless to have the discussion and hear another view. People who are genuinely under conviction, not condemnation, are free. And free people don’t feel the need to make weighty bonds and yokes for others. They understand that in Christ, there is true liberty and anything else is not from God.
