I Judge Wrongly

Scripture: John 7: [24] Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.”

Observation: I feel as if Jesus is saying that directly to me, because that is the way I judge. I look at people and have them summed up without even talking to them. When people talk to me most of the time instead of listening, I’m judging them. No one has a chance around me I seem to have an opinion for everyone I meet.

Application: I need to start looking at people through God’s eyes. If I just met me I know the evil I would think and how I would judge me and it’s not like God. God has had mercy on me and must have found something worthy to love and that is what I need to see in people. I need to start listening more to what people say and not what I think. If I’m going to judge then I need to be judged and I know how that would come out.

Prayer: My Lord forgive me for my shallow ways and selfish acts. Help me see others through your eyes and not mine. May I be a messenger of your love and not a judge of my pity ways. You are the only righteous judge may I leave judging to only you.
