Matthew 7:1 (NIV)
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
Are you judgmental? Do you assume you can judge the intent
of another person's heart? Are you critical and negative about the actions of
others? Jesus wants us all to realize that we cannot know the motivations of
someone's heart. When we are unfairly harsh or bitingly critical in our
judgment of others, we are setting the standard by which God will judge us. I
don't know about you, but I'm not willing to exchange God's grace for my
unreasonable harshness. I'm going work harder at viewing others with mercy and
grace.
Thought for today:
Do I approach people in love to correct an error or misconception or do I come
in with verbal guns ablazing?
