Judge ye be Judged...

On a different note,

I know the Lord has a sense of humor... You can see it all through scripture. One that stands out is a serious topic and a serious issue that happens all too often. Jesus gave a caveat for us to follow, Once we are perfect, we can then have the freedom to judge others. I find this funny, as there is No such thing, thus indirectly saying we shouldn't be judging anyone else but ourselves. Personal accountability versus persecution.
It saddens me that judging seems to be part of our worldly nature... as we all do it, just some more than others or to different extreme's. Whether it be sexual preference or just someone's personal attire... we all have a pretty easy time of pointing out deficiencies. I can accept that it is in our nature, but that doesn't mean we Choose to do it. It doesn't mean we knowing choose to judge those we we deem unworthy... The book of James speaks to one sin is just as guilty as another... and the book of 1st John speaks to all of us being sinful based on God's law. I share this not to condemn, but to inspire personal accountability. God has provided a road map, guidance, and a structure for us... this will equate to a more fruitful, abundant, productive and Love filled life... We should be using it for personal analysis, evaluation and accountability... But to use it for personal gain, motive or judgement would diverting from it's intended use.
We will be given opportunities to provide guidance, wisdom, feedback, and correction... But let's not try and confuse the two scenarios. Knowing the law, and persecuting someone based on it are two separate things. We are to approach with love, grace, compassion, and empathy in order to share the True intent of our Savior. We are living examples of God's love... so, explain how being harsh, unforgiving, ungraceful, and destructive is that reflection of the Lord who died on the cross for our sins?
We should be helping each other, but we also know the value of free will... meaning, we all have a life in which we are accountable to do the best we can! We should all strive to be better people each day, passing on Love which is realistically the hardest of all commandments. Well, it sure seems to be!! We need to be loving more and judging less. We ALL have issues, deficiencies or personal opinions that have no bearing on the walk of our neighbors. Be accountable for Your life, and look to inspire, enhance, and empathize with the lives of others! LOVE is the cure... So be conscious of what You reflect!!

Good day & God Bless,
