I was just on facebook and I ran across a quote put up by my second cousin's wife. I am not a quote person, but this one particular quote really grabbed me.
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them" ~Mother Teresa
Isn't this so right? It is so hard to not judge the actions of others. It is so easy to mock others and put down their actions and words. But really, are we that perfect that we have the right to judge others?
Ummmm, I think not!
I am guilty of the judging, I try really hard not to be, but every day as I reflect on my day I am convicted of judging. I judge my kids, my parents, my husband (He gets it more than others unfortunately), my friends, and yes I even judge the almighty God. But what can I say...I am only human. I wasn't given that gift of perfection. I was however, given the gift of forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ!
So next time you catch yourself judging remember........how can I be loving this person just as Jesus would if I am spending all my time judging them?
