Judge Not

16 Nov 13 devotional from, Experiencing God

Who are we to judge what others do? What gives us the right to decide what is fair and whats unfair? The only being that has any right whatsoever to judge, is Jesus Christ. We may THINK that we are helping or that we are using discernment, but the majority of the time you and I are judging, plain and simple. Make sure you don't get the two mixed up; be careful what your mind thinks and your mouth says. Remember what James said, "…my dear brothers and sisters, take note of this; Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry…" How can you call anyone a hypocrite and keep a clear conscience? Are you not a hypocrite as well? Did you not commit the same wrongs as he or she? Take heart in knowing that no one is perfect. We all make mistakes and though we should strive not to, we all judge now and then. Do your best, through the power of Christ to keep your judgmental heart on lockdown and let your love, acceptance and understanding of others shine through, it will make a world of difference.
