I read the title of this & had a very serious thought come to mind........something that I think is very important to keep at the top of our thoughts.

We do not judge others......we do not judge people......we can judge actions or thoughts as being right or wrong in our sight, but as for judging the person whose actions or thoughts they are.....it is not our place to judge....that is God's place....we are only human with human thoughts that know nothing about the hearts of others......that is why it's important to only judge the thoughts & actions & not the person themselves.

It may seem like a very subtle difference......but it's like with our children.....when they do something wrong......we do not dislike our children for doing something wrong.....but we can definitely not have to like what they did. When we change our focus from the person to the thing.......that is when we open ourselves up to being able to care about others even when we don't like the way they act.....it doesn't mean that we want to become close friends, but with a change in attitude, it creates a more positive attitude toward life.

Just a thought,
Debbie
