Judge Jesus

don't we all fall short of the glory of God?

i can hear you saying "yes, yes of course we do! we are all sinners!"

yes. we are.

but don't we tend to forget this when we see someone doing something that we think is wrong? we think, "i can't believe that person is doing that". of course, right. i mean, we would never do that! we are super christian with our bibles in our hands... quoting scripture... raising our hands during worship... attending church every sunday. no, no we would never ever do that. we are better than that.

see, the mentality here? see the problem? people like this fill the churches. this is what defines christianity. do you really think this was Jesus' mission? to make judgemental followers?

i know we are not perfect. i said that up there already if you haven't been paying attention. i know we cannot love like we are supposed to all the time. we mess up. we are human. and my husband once said "for one human to judge another human is to say that they are more human than you". and that is so very true. the fact is that we can only see someone's actions. we cannot see the heart. only Jesus can. only He can really see what is going on. only he knows a person's true feelings and motivations . so, please, let's leave the judging to Him.
