What is judgment?
Why do we judge?
What makes you better than me or me better than you ?
Why is it ok for some but not ok for me or you?
What makes one sin worse than another to us yet all equal to God?
Have you done something that you have judged others for?
Have you been in the seat of judgment yet turned right around and judged harshly of someone else doing the same thing?
What about the planks in our eyes?
All these thoughts that swim in my head during the night when I wake and can't go back to sleep.
Judgment. We all are judged by God. Hebrews 4:12 He judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Matt. 7:1 says Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
So, being human, we just do it.
I'm guilty. I judge sister Susie over there that is prettier than me. And brother Joe, who cheated on his wife. Or even cousin Judy, who drinks too much. (Eye roll) I'm the judger.
And... I've been judged so harshly by others and sometimes rightfully so, but so many times, wrongfully accused.
I've even gotten fuming mad at someone else for doing something I thought was so wrong, and found myself doing the same dang thing later and felt terrible for being so hateful about the other person. Because I was guilty of the same flaw.
I just want someone else to know, I'm right there too.
In a world full of pretend perfectionism, I'm not perfect. Never have been, never will be.
I'm a awfully imperfect person. Romans 7:15 says I do not understand what I do. What I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. I feel that in my soul.
Let's think about the golden rule before we judge next time. You know... Do unto others...
And take a look at what you're judging about that other person, it may be something in yourself that you aren't allowing yourself to honestly see. You know when you point a finger, there are 4 pointing back at you.
Let's do better. Let's leave the judging to God and ask Him to perfect in us His Spirit, so we can be the best version of ourselves that we can be.
