Judging Others
It is so easy to judge others.
We have no right to judge others when
• we do not know their struggles.
• we do not know their situation.
• we do not know their hearts.
When we judge others
- we put up a barrier between others and ourselves.
- we often spread that judgmental feeling to others in gossip.
- our stubbornness to only view them with a judgmental spirit erects a barrier, an obstacle, which can cause them to become discouraged and fall.
We must ask God
- to help us be more patient with the failures of others, just as He is patient with ours.
- to forgive us for not being more of an encouragement to those who are weak and struggling.
- to forgive us for being a hindrance to others.
Romans 14:13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.
