Don’t Judge Me, It’s not Your Job

Nowadays it’s best not to judge another person at all. We hear the words all the time, “Don’t judge me “. When we do judge others our opinion of them or preconceived first impression of them kicks in. Human nature tends to put us in a box of preconceived judgemental thoughts at first sight of another person. We base our judgement on another person’s appearance or their demeanor. If that person looks like, and acts like someone who has hurt us in the past, we put them in the negative box of first sight judging. It is ultimately the Lord’s job to judge people. He is the Righteous Judge who judges from a completely different place of understanding and truth. When we judge another person harshly, we will be judged the same way. As we judge the fruit of another’s actions or behavior, that’s totally alright because we must be on guard to not let the enemy walk all over us. The measure of judgement you use, will be measured back to you according to how you judged someone else. Being careful with judging people is a conscious decision we must make. It will make life easier for us, and keep us from inflicting ourselves with unnecessary judgement against us later.
