Judging


My good friend Bianca posted on her blog about judging people and it really got me thinking.
How many things in our life are based off of judgements, or wrong judgements at that? Would we still be fighting wars, experiencing racism or unfair treatment or even religious prosecution? What would the world be like if no one judged another and instead we took the time to actually get to know one another rather than basing our opinions on someone's clothes, their lifestyle, their friends? As a Christian, our actions should be based on what God would want us to do, and I definitely don't think that God wants us to judge others. After all, Jesus didn't choose to spend His time with the rich and powerful; He came to serve those who were the opposite. He came for the poor, the weak, the dirty, the diseased, the broken. And He definitely was judged by people for doing that but He ignored their insults and continued to love and show compassion. That is how I want to live.
