Passing judgement on others.

I have been trying to get myself to a place where I don't look at people and instantly pass judgment on them.  I have been getting better at it but it still takes time.  Things have happened around people that are close to me to make me take a step back and think about judgment.  Here is some verses I have found in the bible about passing judgment on others.


Luke 6:37         
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

James 4:12          
There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

I love these two because they say it all.  Who am I to judge anyone on anything.  I need to worry about decisions I am making in my life.  If you ever feel like judging someone ask yourself how is there decision to wear that or say that effecting my life?  If it effects you negatively then kindly talk with that person, but not showing that person love can cause such a ripple effect and send that person down the wrong path.  We are here to do Jesus' work not push people from it.


I will leave you with this quote I heard from watching a Tony Campolo video.   GET RID OF YOUR OWN SIN BEFORE YOU WORRY ABOUT JUDGING SOMEONE ON THEIRS.

Have a truly blessed day.
