Jesus Had Long Hair

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:11

People can sure be judgmental. Recently I heard of someone who forbade her child to associate with a stellar young adult only because he had long hair and her assumption was he did drugs. This young man was a straight A student who happened to like long hair. First that is mean and second it is a stereotype. It sure is easy to cast stones isn’t it? 

Having long hair is not a sin. That’s why I said Jesus had long locks. He didn’t smoke pot. Humans can be so mean in their treatment and response to people who look different. Some ‘religious people’ probably condemn jeans on a preacher or a band instead of an organ. 

Each of us needs to mind our own business and leave judging to God. I sincerely pray that those who have this raunchy judging attitude can be set free for it is not a spirit of love at all. Do your part, love and don’t judge. 

PRAYER: Lord in the past I may have been guilty of a judgment call or stereotyping and for that I ask sincere forgiveness. Help me show love to all people no matter how different they may look and leave the judging to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
