Judging

Don’t! Don’t judge. Leave that to the Lord – or actual judges. When we don’t like someone we judge them. We don’t even know them or what happened to make them like they are. We just know we don’t like them. It’s hard to turn the other cheek but, until we can really understand why they behave like they do, we should give them some slack. Why am I like I am? Lots of reasons. Life is like a tree growing from a seed. There are good years and bad years and it struggles to grow tall and straight. When there is someone acting up we should take the time to get to know them better. We need to forgive them even when they don’t deserve it. In time they will open up their heart by sharing their past and then it will be much clearer to us.
