Do not Judge Me my Friend!

Jesus once said, you judge a tree by the fruit it bares but he also said, Judge not lest ye be judged. The more modern version of bible puts it this way: As you judge others, so shall you be judged. Either way, it means be careful. Judgement is a double-edge sword.

Do not judge me my Friend!


 


Do not judge me, my friend for if you do so


You are judging yourself more than you know.


If our beliefs vary from one another as we live


This does not mean we have nothing to give.


We do have the love of our Lord and his Son.


And when we accept him our journey has begun.


We must dwell on things in common we share.


We should not fall into the trap where we point and stare


At a brother who does did not come to Jesus in the same way


For the roads that lead him to our lord may have been through clouds of gray.


 


If we cast judgment and do not attempt to understand his heart and soul


We are the ones who have not yet reached our spiritual goal.


That is to love and to give of ourselves through his holy name.


For it was by love that to Earth our Lord Jesus Christ came.


Try, therefore to understand and be slow to criticize


For if you judge your brother this could lead to your demise.


 


Let your faith ring out like a bell by the way that you live


And do not cast judgment but never fail to give.


Give to your brother from your heart love that’s pure


For one day, you shall find yourself standing at Heavens door.


And when you do, I pray you will know God’s wonderful grace.


As he looks back ore your life, your footsteps, he’ll trace.


He will see the times you have forgiven others


He will welcome you in to meet with heavenly brothers.

(Open) judgement is fine as long as it is done with the best of intentions.But any judgement with pre-conceived ideas and evil intentions may lead one to hell.
A good lesson,Lew!

Again for the second time tonight I find myself going along with Jerry. We as humans in the flesh...if we are are honest with ourselves, we will find that often if we do not fight against it, we will find ourselves beginning to judge...we must always stand the watch against the flesh....good reminder of what our duty is Lew.

A message from the heart! Loved it, Lew. The message is simple; we just have to learn not to judge others, for what we see in them is a reflection of ourselves. Therefore, it's more important to remove the plank that's in our own eyes first, before we dare judge another. So to be safe, refrain from judging others is spot on. You have penned a message that is full of wisdom. Thank you, Lew.

God Bless

I understand the bibical teachings, but we are human, and we most certainly DO judge. We may not SAY that we judge, but we do.

Reminds me of the example of the pointing of one finger at others whilst three are point back at you. Truly we judge the small stones in other's eyes, but ignore the logs in ours. Victor

God set down the guide lines for us to know right from wrong and in so doing called us to repentance when we knowingly do not follow his ways. We are a world of laws where people are convicted of murders and mayhem by a jury of their peers and judged to be guilty or not. Acts of murder and violence against innocent people cry to the heavens for judgment.

Reviewed on September 23, 2006
We can only judge by God's standards not our own. It took a man to graciously judge my sins in the light of God's word that drew me to repentance and to receive God's forgiveness. Judgement is an emotive word. Maybe that's what we are cagey about.
