Of all the many 'do nots' in the Bible, I guess we can hold this one to the utmost high. Thou shalt not steal.

I am not perfect in any way. Not one cell of me is perfect. I sin even when I am sleeping. I sin without thinking. I judge without conscious thought. Yet, in my human-ness, I can only know Jesus from in my heart. I cannot judge anyone's relationship with God, but mine. I can only guess when asked 'what would Jesus do?' I cannot know the answers for you. I feel God's love for me. It is real. It is tangible because my heart swells with his love when I am in pain, feel joy and also sadness. Many things confuse me, but one thing I am sure of. My God, the one who created me, who has loved me since before I was born, the God who speaks to my heart of love, charity, compassion and goodness, He has touched my heart with discernment, perception in the absence of judgment with a view to obtaining spiritual direction and understanding. Of all the sinners Jesus died for, will God forsake the one that stole bread for his hungry family? No, he won't. My God would be more focused on helping him. His thoughts and judgements will be much harsher on the people that could have helped the man in his suffering, but didn't. His anger will be directed towards the bitter taxpayers and the greedy tax collectors. My God knows the heart of every man. My relationship with God is close. It goes no further than my hand when held right in front of my face. What is on the other side of my hand, is not my concern. All the rest is not about me. It is about God's relationships with everyone else. I prefer not to quibble about technicalities, but instead I try to focus on what Jesus did. I want to be like Him. If the man took a piece of bread, Jesus would give him the whole loaf.
