The judge inside

Jesus had a rule He lived by and taught:

Don't judge people, unless you want to be judged yourself. That judgmental and criticizing spirit has a way of coming back to haunt you. – Matthew 7.1,2 (BRCV)

I think He taught on that because He knew how easy it is to judge people. Human beings tend to feel superior to their neighbors, like they know better, or are indeed better. Of course the reality is very different.

Maybe sometimes you wonder why life treats you so badly; why things never work out for you; why you seem to make enemies so easily; why you become the target of hatred and injustice for nothing.

Well, perhaps the judge inside you may know why.

Be merciful as your Father is merciful. Luke 6.36
