Do not judge, or you will be judged

"Do not judge, or you too 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. Matthew 7:1-2.

We are not to judge others but to love them. Jesus came to set us free from our burdens and struggles so that we can learn to love others with the love that He's shown us. A judgemental spirit is dangerous as it puts us on a pedestal of self-righteousness where we start to neglect others as we compare them against our own standards. We have not walked in the shoes of others, and if we did, our whole demeanour might change to one of compassion if we understood the struggles they've had to deal with. As we reach out in love to others, we'll find others reach out to us in the same way. Praise God today that Jesus did not come to judge us, but to love us and to set us free, so that we can show others the love that He's shown us.
