Judge not that you be not judged.
Judgmentalism is poisonous, but it
comes so naturally.
A mark, or perhaps the mark, of
spiritual maturity is accepting other people for who they are.
With every contact with other people,
my brain is making evaluations. Was that person friendly? Too
friendly? Intelligent? Stubbornly ignorant? Did he wait his turn? Is
he a show off? Impressed with himself? Unable to stop the flow of
mindless words?
Continually I need to step back and
think, “If this is how I am evaluating him, how is he evaluating
me?”
This makes me much more charitable in
my impressions of others.
For God so loved the world that He
gave His Only Son
