"Do not judge, or you too will be judged."
Reflection:
This verse is a powerful reminder that our role isn't to sit in the seat of judgment; that seat is reserved for God alone. Many misunderstand this verse as a warning to never express a viewpoint or take a moral stand. However, itβs actually an invitation to approach life and relationships with a spirit of humility and grace.
So often, we become fixated on the flaws and failings of others, missing out on the opportunity for self-examination and spiritual growth. When we release our grip on the gavel of judgment, we free our hands to lift in prayer β for ourselves and for others.
Ask Yourself: Am I holding onto judgments that are poisoning my heart and hindering my relationship with God and others?
π Prayer of the Day
Heavenly Father,
Today, I surrender my tendency to judge and critique, asking for Your grace to fill my heart. Help me to see others through Your eyes of compassion and mercy. May I be more concerned with the integrity of my own heart than the perceived failings of those around me.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
π Quote of the Day
"Christians are not inspectors; they are spiritual fruit pickers looking for any sign of life."
β Mark Driscoll
