judgment

Don't judge someone on who they were as a child, in highschool, college, young married, or even who they were yesterday....God can change them in an INSTANT!!

"we sin because we are sinners, we aren't sinners because we sin"


Matthew 7
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"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? 4How 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? 5You 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

Luke 6:37 (New International Version)
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.



This thought just came to me as I read an email from a *new* friend that has felt harsh judgment in the past....as most of us have at one point or another. Thank you Lord for the gift of Grace and Forgiveness.
