You Judge You!

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1

Have you caught yourself judging another person because of their car, their bumper stickers, their tattoos, their choice of movies, the size of their clothes, the type of clothes they choose to wear, their body piercing, or their clothes? If all of us were honest the answer for everyone would be a loud YES. Did you know God does not want us dabbling in the judgment area?

First of all God does not judge any of those items I listed above so if you form an opinion because of someone’s looks you are way off base. You do not know their heart and God does, so who made you the judge?

When you feel tempted to pass judgment on another try praying instead because you do reap what you sow and what if there is someone passing judgment unfairly on you. It would hurt. Try to pray next time that thought comes to your head.

 PRAYER: Lord Jesus forgive me when I have wrongly judged another even if not out loud. It is wrong and you are disappointed because every human is yours even if they don’t acknowledge it. Teach me to pray harder and condemn less. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
