Try not to judge one another. Just accept each other for who you are. Love each other. Too often people view other people's lives and choices and pass judgement. Or offer unsolicited advice about how they would handle something. But you are not them. You have no true idea how you would react or handle anything unless God placed you in that position. The Lord may call you for something that someone else will never experience. The people that play it safe and never get out of their comfort zone of faith will never really experience the great power of the Lord. I believe when individuals walk out on faith in whatever it is they are seeking, the Lord can truly move in their lives. But no matter what we choose as a believer, it is not our right to pass judgement on another. I have people tell me I am in denial, I am nuts, irresponsible, out of touch with reality because I left my job after 21 years in this shaky economy "simply" because I lacked "fulfilment" and I should have "sucked it up". Ouch! Wow harsh words? Yes. Judging words? For sure. How did I react? As lovingly as I can because they do not know the works of the Lord and what He called me to do. He has provided every step of the way and has fulfilled my life in every way because I obeyed and exercised my faith in Him. To the outside I am viewed as crazy and I get that but perhaps that is why it is I that Jesus asked to do such an act. Because I could and I would for Him. It is now that I see His amazing power on my life and of my husband's. The chains of bondage are broken and I am free. No one knows where I have been or what I have been through therefore you cannot judge me. Please don't do it to anyone else. It hurts, it angers, it causes dissention and it is not of God. We are to obey His command today and love one another, forgive one another and not judge one another. For we will reap what we sow and you never know when you will be called to do something in the name of the Lord. Words to think about......
Luke 6:37
