Good evening to all the Christian brothers of Steemchurch, in this community we can learn but we can also teach, what a blessing!
Judging others is not wrong as long as it is done with justice, but if you are unfair, how can you sit and judge when you do the same, minor or worse things?
How do you take care of the mistakes of others and not take care of your own? How is it so severe with the faults of the other and always fix an excuse for yours? How are you so indignant when you perceive the defects of your neighbor and feel so unjustified when pointing out their shortcomings? Two pesos and two measures.
It's amazing how easily we judge others. As Jesus said, we see the straw in the eye nearby, but we do not see the beam in our eye ...
"Judge not, that ye be not judged." Have you heard this somewhere? It is a clear warning that every action done by the evil generates injury to itself, because when you judge another you measure.
You are not able to perceive a defect that you do not know. If you show him the broken engine of a spaceship and ask him where the defect is, you will not know how to say. I suppose not. In short, you only notice what you know. The defects, the errors, the faults that you see in others are faults that you have, to a greater or lesser degree.
How do you notice when someone is being malicious? Because you know malice. If I did not know it, I did not perceive it.
We point out the defects of others in a ridiculous attempt to stand out, because we elevate ourselves to our own eyes and diminish our neighbor with our twisted conclusions and our fraudulent judgments. Do not forget that those defects and errors that you, an immortal spirit, do not present in this current terrestrial tour, probably already had and committed in other experiences. Not to mention that nobody is free to err yet for the future ...
We are not going to become saints overnight. There is no magic formula for intimate reform. But is it that we can not make ourselves a little more tolerant? It is not out of kindness that I speak. By being stern with someone, you are being severe with yourself. You understand that?
Who do you think judges us? God? God gave us conscience. The conscience is responsible for observing, analyzing and judging. Yes, we have to judge ourselves. When you feel remorse for a mistake made, who is judging you? Are not you yourself? Is not it your own conscience that is hammering in your head, remembering every moment that you were wrong and need to correct yourself?
Well, that's how it works. We are our judges. And we judge ourselves with the measure we use to judge others. Therefore, the more severe you are with the faults of your neighbor, the more severe you will be with your own faults.
Life in society is a mirror in which it is reflected in those around it. That's why I said I was not speaking out of kindness. You are good? Very good, stop judging by your kindness. Are you not good? Then do not harm yourself by being so severe and condemning!
Never judge something of someone, if you do the same...
