Judging Others

Hi everyone! Today the topic is judging others. It seems to me that judging people for how they act or how they look is one of the hardest habits to break. In the bible it says -Do not judge or you too will be judged- Of course we don't like it when people judge us, so why do we judge others? It seems like we label anyone we meet. You never know, someone might has already labeled you for something you did. I know it seems that some people are harder to get along with then others, but we still need to be kind to everyone. So instead of thinking bad about someone, let's try to be positive. The truth is we don't even know enough about them, so why would we judge them? We don't know what they went through or how their life is. Instead of using harsh words about people, let's use words of encouragement.

                                                Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.    -Matthew 7:1-5

I hope everyone has a great day!

  1. There are several reasons why people judge, one being that judging another takes the attention away from him/her. No one likes to look at themselves and admit we are less than...We need to remember that God will use the bad for good. Even the judgers...
