"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not
condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be
forgiven." Luke 6:37
Judgement is a very powerful sin; it allows us to believe
that we are better than someone, and that our sin isn't as significant as the
one we are judging. Have you ever looked at someone and immediately judged
them? I have! I've thought to myself I can't believe she wore that dress, I
would never forgive my husband if he did that, or the best is: my children
would NEVER do that! How about when you hear gossip (true or not) about an
individual and condemn them out loud. Then everyone joins in and it becomes a
witch hunt! How dare we as Christians judge someone else when we have so much sin
of our own to worry about. I am just as guilty as everyone else!
Forgiveness is the ultimate gift from God. Think of how many
times he's forgiven you. Mine are too many to count! Judgement and Condemnation
go directly against the teachings of Christ. Life is often unfair, we could
probably all be offended daily if we allow ourselves. Instead of being
resentful, let's rejoice and be thankful. God always rights every wrong in his
own time.
Have a blessed day!
