-12 Why, then, criticise
your brother’s actions, why try to make him look small? We shall all be judged
one day, not by each other’s standards or even our own, but by the standard of
Christ. It is written: ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God’. It is to God alone that we have to
answer for our actions.
I have a tendency to replay situations
over and over in my head. It’s a way of
processing information and trying to justify my thoughts and actions. This
happens mostly when I become aware that I have sinned.
It’s so easy to see other peoples
faults. The difficult part for me is not
to judge.
I have thought about this deep and
long. I do not know their hearts, how can I? I do not know where they are coming from, if I
was in their shoes, what would I have done.
I’m NOT. I only know my
circumstances, I only have control over my thoughts and actions, I am responsible before God for myself, for my own actions.
We are not called to judge our fellow
brothers and sisters, we are commanded to love and exalt them.
In my journey of guarding my heart I choose to confess my own sin, judging and criticising others will corrupt my heart. I choose to submit to Gods Word.
