Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in
judging is the standard by which you will be judged. Matthew 7:1-2
We must be careful when we judge others, because we simply
may not know or understand all of the facts or circumstances. I have had
my fair share of people make unfair evaluations about me and I know that I have
done the same to others.
Before we jump to conclusions about others, it helps to
recall the hurt we have experienced in the past when we were wrongly
judged. It helps us to avoid looking at people through a negative filter
that gives us a distorted point of view.
It’s when we see others as Jesus sees them-as God’s
children-that we begin to offer grace and mercy rather than judgment.
