Scripture:
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
– Luke 6:37 (NIV)
God makes His point plainly. We are not to judge. We must fight our human tendencies to cast judgment and condemn others. If we don’t, we will find ourselves judged and condemned. We are called to forgive one another, recognizing that we are imperfect, and that God’s forgiveness is meant for everyone.
Prayer:
Lord, help me fight the human tendency to judge others. Instead, please give me a heart of forgiveness and compassion as you have shown toward me. You are the Almighty Judge. Only You can know my heart.
