Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Judgy, unforgiveness makes for a difficult person. When the woman was caught in adultery, Jesus said, " You without sin cast the first stone." Why do we try to take the speck out of our brother's eye, and leave the plank in our own? Pride! True humility is seeing everyone through the eyes of Jesus. Each person, was somebody's baby at one point. Life is hard. Many time people become bully's because they have been severely abused. We each have a plethora of experiences that shape us into who we are. If you are blessed enough to have turned into a person you like, thank God for that. Ask Him to keep helping you walk the walk. Hurting people hurt others. Try to love others where they are at today. Ask Jesus for the strength to do so. Our humane condition, makes us feel judgy and unforgiving. Jesus give us the strength to be accepting, kind and forgiving. If we are to be fishers of men we have to have good bait. Not just to catch them but to help others truly know Jesus, His love, forgiveness, newness of life and life everlasting!!
