Saw this great verse on my Verse-A-Day Android App... Romans 2:1-4 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? It is so crucial that we rely upon the Holy Spirit, and that we ask for wisdom and discernment from God. We must seek Him and take great care as we encounter the lives of others. It is so easy to allow worldly circumstances to cloud our judgment, or to let evil desires or schemes of Satan deceive us and lead us to hasty and terribly inaccurate judgments upon others that we meet. We must work, some days harder than others, to turn our hearts to God and open them to be filled with His take on things that is always, “in accordance with the truth”. Our judgments of others has real power to impact our relationship with God, because it is a reflection of what is in our own hearts! He has not offered grace so that we live unrepentant lives presuming upon the cross! The design of God’s goodness is to lead you to repentance. Follow Him.
