Judging

James 4:12 makes it quite clear that there is only one lawmaker and Judge and, surprise, it's not you or me. James goes as far as to ask, "Who do you think you are to judge your fellow man?"

None of us know another person's whole story. Only God knows us, even better than we know ourselves, that's why He is the only lawmaker and judge and He judges everyone by the same standard (Romans 2:11).

Do you my friend, pass judgement on others?  You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do the same things which they do, you condemn yourself (Romans 2:1).  

We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23).  I know I have lived in glass houses in the past and might find myself there again, who knows?  So in light of that I will lay my stones down and hopefully will find that same grace and mercy when I need it.  

                                                     




                                      

Simply Put:

It's our job to love,💖 not to judge others.

  Forgiveness Our biggest deterrent to forgiving someone could be that we think if we forgive them we are saying that what they did was alright. I googled forgiveness and this is what I found:  Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.  Forgiveness does not mean condoning or excusing offences. This is what the Bible says:  If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done (Matthew 6:14,15).                                                 Simply Put: Forgiveness frees the forgiver.

  Rejection One of the most painful human experiences is that of rejection. If you are feeling the sting of rejection and are thinking that no one understands, know that Jesus does.  John 1:11 tells us that He came to His own country and His own people did not receive Him.  On the night before His crucifixion, when He was arrested, His friends all ran away and left Him (Matthew 26:56). So let the one who has been there hold and comfort you and He will give you the assurance that when you open your eyes everything will be all right.  You will be assured that on the other side of the door acceptance is waiting.                                                                                  Sim ply Put: There is acceptance after rejection.

  Bell Let's Talk Now in it's 12th year Bell Let's Talk Day, which was held on Jan 26th this year, hopes to raise both awareness and money for mental health, with the goal of eliminating the stigma around mental illness, supporting organizations across Canada to help improve mental health care access, and funding research that could one day offer promising treatments.                                                         I shared the following on Facebook during Bell Let's Talk Day last year.  January 28-2021 I wrote the following poem awhile ago but never shared it because...well just because. I am sharing it now because...well just because.                                                         Go...
