Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.
Being careful not to judge is a daily, minute by minute decision that we must work hard at doing every day.
Judging others can cause more harm than good, because we don’t know how to judge with righteous judgement. ONLY God can do this. We, as God’s children, have to understand this more than anyone.
As we walk this walk with Christ, the closer we get to Him, the more humble we should become; Not puffed up, not arrogant and definitely not untouchable.
Remember the woman at the well, in John 4:18? She’d had 5 husbands in her life. Jesus sat with her and talked one-on-one with her.
The woman that had a bleeding issue for twelve years, in Matthew 9:20, actually touched His garment, and He stopped and spoke to her in that moment of need, and brought healing to her.
We all need Jesus, and He is there for us, no matter what we have done. He is reachable!!
People need to be able to come to us and talk to us. And we in return should not be judging them in their situation. We are no better.
We might have been convicted in those areas and we may have changed or turned away from doing those things, but we should not push our convictions on anyone else.
Trying to force someone to see things the way we see them is not our job as God’s children. It’s different if we are asked for our opinion. Then we can share. But even in that, we should never push it on them.
We are called to love, not judge. Letting God do His job, and us doing ours, will make this world a better place. Amen.
