Judge a Man by what you see in his Heart

You know I have a problem that I work at everyday. It is easy to pass judgment but when I do that I not only judge the one I am aiming at but also myself. Before I tell you that I believe you are wrong, I must first look into my own heart. What I find there makes me want to be more forgiving with others.

Judge a Man by what you see in his Heart!


 


Do not judge a man by the color of his skin or way he worships God.


Do not think of him as sinful or dirty or even as if he was odd.


First, get to know him and find out what made him what he is today.


Do not be too quick to pass judgment upon the things you think you heard him say.


Take some time to get to know him and try hard to understand.


Know him as someone who can be your friend and maybe one who needs a helping hand.


Judge him by his ability to love and to accept the love of others.


Know that even if you have differences you are proclaimed by Christ to be brothers.


Jesus said, “If any man asks anything of you, you are to freely give.”


That includes the love you give as well as the ability to forgive.


So judge not your brother for as you do, you judge yourself as well.


If you are quick to proclaim their immortal death you may find yourself in hell.


So love your neighbor as yourself and never, ever forget.


God sees what you accomplish and he will reward you as he sees fit.

Good one, Lew. Jesus said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Matthew 7:1-3. These are powerful words, yet man has problems obeying them. Pity!

God Bless

This is so true, and something that most people find so difficult to do. I figure that I've got a full time job just trying to keep myself in check, and trying to live good. I don't have time to pass judgment on my brothers and sisters...after all I would like to be judged with kindness and love, the bible does say judge not lest ye be judged. Great write, one all of us need to be reminded of.
Blessings,

This is wonderful prose and filled with rock solid messages for all. I got a lot of take aways from this. Thanks for sharing. My best, Gloria

This excellent write remends me of something I was told. If you are pointing at someone and criticise, four more fingers are pointing back at you.
