Throughout life, we find ourselves in the situations of being judged & judging others. It’s amazing because, at times, we don’t recognize we’re doing it. It’s so easy to get caught up in thoughts such as, “I would never do that” or “Why would he/she put up with that?” On the other hand, people are quick to tell you what they would do if “they were in your situation.” However, many of these things are easier said than done.
Some of us really want to be judge, jury, & more. We try to take on this role, not realizing how we would truly fit into & wear the other person’s shoes. The Bible states “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged” (Matthew 7:1 NLT). What powerful words to live by & to follow.
Until next time.
