JUDGING OTHERS AND ASSUMING IS NOT OF GOD- TESTIMONY I myself have been known to judge other people- most of the time non Christians but other times I have judged Christians too. I was asked tonight coincidentally to talk with someone who has in fact actually come out with that they have judged me wrongly and I would have never of known if this wasnt spoken to me. My response was shock as this person and I have barely said two words to each other and the first thing that this person spoke to me about was the fact that they didnt know me---- the conversation went like this other person Hi I just wanted to say we havent really talked to each other and I just wanted to say I am sorry because I have judged you without really getting to know you. My response was oh ok I am unsure of why you have when you dont know me and what is it exactly you are judging me on. Their response I dont know My response Ok well just coming from someone who is a Christian and who does love God just stating that although you feel this was necessary to come and tell me, you know you can give this to God, because if I wasnt a believer of Christ someone else may take serious offence to this as you are judging someone without really knowing them at all. I left this conversation feeling very confused as to how someone could judge me without knowing me along with feeling confused as to why I was told and why this person didnt just give this to God in the first place as it would be like me thinking someone smells bad or something and then going and telling them I mean I just wouldnt do that so I felt unsure. However this person felt they needed it released and I respect that except I think the fact I hadnt spoken to this person almost at all and thought that it could have been given to God rather than to me however this has now got me thinking which is good as I am now writing about it and sharing this as my testimony. I believe the right way to handle judging someone and not knowing them is better to give it to God straight away rather than telling the person-- except this is not what happened and as the receiver of this I personally have just been left to feel confused and quite frankly upset that someone would judge me when they dont know me at all and has probably said hi to me twice. I think in life we all do judge others ....are they friend material .. will they be nice to me .... can I trust this person....... will this person speak wisely or unwisely to me...... is that person a good influence....... is that person a bad influence....... ect ect ect the truth is only God can judge us all we can not judge each other and if we think we can or have the right to we will actually be judged the same way by God that we have judged that person. I feel upset that someone could judge me when they havent even given the time to get to know me or have just judged me on the outside and have thought I am not worth getting to know I think that is really sad and not the Christian way at all as we are all to be accepting of each other as Jesus accepts us all. My righteousness to judge others along with others righteousness to judge others is rags compared to Jesuss righteousness, therefore we have no right to judge others. Assumptions are made all the time along with judgements but the only person who knows each persons heart is God and that is what truly matters not what others think of you or say about you, that is their problem not yours as God loves you and knows what is in each of your hearts and that is what matters not other judgements and assumptions from others. God Bless followed are Bible quotes which back up everything I have just stated love you all xx God bless xx Matthew 7:1-6 ESV “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brothers eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye. New Living Translation - Isaiah 64:6 We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.
