judge and be judged

First of all, Christians aren't supposed
to be hypocrites..remember the Golden Rule:

"Do not do unto others what you do not
want others do unto you."

Simply coz, if you judge someone, it all
comes back to you..also, God is the only
Judge as it is written..there are things
revealed to me this morning in my
devotions..i will just share 3 verses:

Romans 2:1-3
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who
pass judgment on someone else, for at
whatever point you judge the other, you
are condemning yourself, because you who
pass judgment do the same things. Now we
know that God's judgment against those
who do such things is based on truth. So
when you, a mere man, pass judgment on
them and yet do the same things, do you
think you will escape God's jugdment?"

If you want respect, give respect and
show yourself some respect coz how you
treat others shows how you treat
yourself too.


Second, i will share a text quote given
to me by a friend:

"Treat everyone with kindness, even
those who are rude to you, not because
they are not nice, but because you are!"

"Never judge, only BLESS and ENCOURAGE"


Third, i have read from a booklet:

"One of the devil's beatitudes are the
critical and judgmental people - for
they shall inherit a place with him in
his fate."


Fourth and the last one:

"The fourth principle that can be found
in Jesus' ministry is the focus on
potential, not problems."

"God never chooses men and women because
of what they are, but because of what
they will become. He knows us completely
and is aware of our weaknesses. He is,
however, in the revolutionary business
of transforming our lives from the
inside out. And so, despite our
awareness of our problems - our
rebellion, our separation from God and
our hopeless condition - God sees that
we have great potential. Jesus operated
on the basis of potential, not
problems." -Agape Leadership Group

See, i was a sinner and still a sinner,
and i do not see myself higher or more
righteous than any other ordinary
individual because just like how Jesus
had chosen His disciples, they were all
unimpressive but He sees the potential
in those people. He loves you just as He
loves me..He always will! All of us will
be transformed for His glory alone..the
question is..is your heart willing to be
used in ways not even your imaginations
can foresee?

Jesus loves each and everyone of us..all
of us..no exemptions! (prisoners,
prostitutes, rapists, drug addicts,
poor, widows and the list goes on) No
one is more righteous than anyone. Share
love and compassion.

Mark 9:35
"...If anyone wants to be first, he must
be the very last, and the servant of all."

God bless everyone..God is always with you!
