Everyone is guilty of this, and I am REALLY guilty. I try my hardest not to judge to quick, but it never works that way. I judge to quick just by peoples actions, what I hear, or what people may wear. All of us do this from time to time. When I actually get to know that person that I am judging and they turn out to be really nice, and someone cool to hang out that is when we feel bad all along. It has happened to me plenty of times this school year, and I feel sorry for myself at sometimes for doing so. The goods news is though, and am improving and getting better! So, I encourage all of you readers not to step so far into my footsteps. Get to know someone, and don't judge. I don't know where in the Bible where it says this, but it says " Only God can judge me". I believe in that 100%. Only God can jugde me(Bruce Fox) so I really don't care what others think of me when they are judging me. However, I should not be the judge of people only God.
I think it's funny when people say they don't judge anyone. That comment always makes me laugh. It's unfortunate, but it does happen. I myself do it! No where near as much as I used to, but it happens. I had a roommate out here when I first came to CO Springs. I immediately judged her and decided we had nothing in common. We were roomates for 5 months and never hung out once or even had a decent conversation. Now, a little over a year later we are pretty good friends, we play soccer together and coach a little boys team together. Stupid me! I missed out on a year of a good friendship
ReplyDeleteIt also says in Matthew 7 "Do not judge or you will be judged, for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
I say that because I had a VERY hard time making friends when I came out here and it took almost a year to realize why. I believe it was because of that situation and it took me to ask God's forgiveness for judging her. Now I'm back on track and meeting some great people.
I should start my own blog!
