Do not judge, and you will not be judged yourselves.
Lk.6:37
Jesus' warning is stark and concise. Judgement results in judgement.
My judgement of others says more about me than those I judge. And what it says ain't pretty. I'm insecure in my own identity as a loved son.
When I see myself rightly as the beloved I see others rightly, brothers and sisters in need of loving as much as I do.
Are my thoughts charitable, true or even necessary? Good questions to ask before I ever speak.
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
