There are days that I find myself being so critical and judgmental of others. I don’t think it is something I generally let “out”…mostly, it’s just the thoughts in my head that I work through, pray through and let pass. It BUGS me, though, that I even have these moments.
I find it so easy sometimes to jump on the perceived motivations and intentions of others. Thankfully, God has given me the much-appreciated ability of gracious recognition of my own stupidity and short-sightedness.
I hope I never come to a point in my life where I think I am better than someone else or think I have a greater calling or gifting than someone else. May I always choose to serve and love Him and serve and love others the way He loves me.
Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.” Matthew 22.37-40
