Do Not Judge



Jesus said, do not judge so that you will not be judged.

God is trying to teach us acceptance rather than judgment.  It’s a very, very difficult lesson.

How many times a day do I think I judge? I really try hard not to judge, but I fail tremendously.  Although I don’t go around judging everyone and their every action, by recognizing their flaws more than recognizing their strengths, I am judging them.

Challenge: Count how many times I judge myself.  Count how many times today I judge other people.

Judgment is a barrier to my own growth and self-awareness.  I am not perfect.  And judging acts as a mask of hiding my flaws.

Just focusing on reducing the amount of judgment in my life is a path to peace, joy and incredible spiritual growth!

Jesus, make me aware just before I am about to fall into judging someone, and give me the grace to stop myself.

Amen.
