I have made up my mind that I will stop passing judgement on people.
Will I fail? Yes. Some habits are hard to break and that is exactly what it is. A habit.
It is so easy for me to see someone else who may be doing something I don't agree with and let the judging begin. I will be very honest in saying that many times I am trying to make myself look or feel better in regards to my sin when I am doing this.
We all know that the truth is clear. We will ALL stand before the judgement seat of God.
Going forward I am going to try to remember a few things when I start to feel all judgy:
I have no idea what this person is really going through.
I have sin.
I don't like it when people do this to me.
Use this time as an opportunity to pray for this person.
Look at my own life and see what sin is hiding in the deep, dark corners.
Ask for forgiveness from God and seek his will.
I really believe that by doing this God is going to bless my relationship with Him. I really do believe that this thing that I do is like a bad connection on a phone call. It makes my relationship with God and others all stacticky. The connection is not clear. Communication is broken.
I know as surely as I have written this today, Satan is going to be super busy. Let's be in prayer for one another today as we try to be less judgy.
