| Judge not lest ye be judged |

| |
This is an area where I know that we all struggle.If u don't struggle in this area then u r blessed to have grown beyond this trap.I struggle and know that God has warned me more then a few times in this area.He wants me to be more mercifull to others.I know that I am weak in this area.The word says that where I am weak He is strong.God helps me not to judge others.He reminds me to not look at someone and to judge them for something. Sometimes I judge others for the way they look or how thet act.I'm reminded by God that if I want to be judged the same way,then go ahead and keep judging.I work on stopping the judgement once God corrects me.I'm not saying that I have overcome completely in this area.Cause I haven't.But I'm a work in progress. One day I'd like to get to the place where I no longer judge the other person or myself in a critical way anymore.I find those who judge others r hardest on themselves.But God says judge not least ye be judged.I'm thinking that I want to treat ppl the way that I want to be treated. Alot of the time because of being abused and treated badly growing up.I don't think I deserve to be treated well.So I act in such a way that ppl don't get close to me.I push ppl away and judge them.Then I get hurt cause they judge back.I don't feel like I deserve to be treated well by others. I don't know about others but I would rather push others away then have them push me away.I do stuff that isn't exactly friendlike.But here is where it stops.I'm working towards God's plan for my life and not the devils plan.The devil meant it for evil but the Lord means it for good.Today is a day of change.I press on toward the mark for the high calling God in Christ Jesus.
2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things. |
