“Love Doesn’t Judge”
It is so easy for us to be critical of people who look at the world differently than we do. That is one of the things I ask God to help me with daily in my prayers “to not have a critical attitude”. God tells us not to judge others. We have to guard ourselves against judging others by what seems right in our eyes.
You think about it we all come from different places and we all value different things in life. Paul talks about how fellow believers will see things different than us and how we should treat them.
Romans 14:1 (MSG)
1 Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do. And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.
So, as we go about our week, lets practice not having a critical judgmental attitude. There will come a day when we have to answer to God how we treat others.
Romans 14:10-12 (MSG)
10-12 So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I’d say it leaves you looking pretty silly—or worse. Eventually, we’re all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment, facing God. Your critical and condescending ways aren’t going to improve your position there one bit.
