VERSE:
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 7:2
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Matthew+7:2
THOUGHT:
Jesus is concerned that we not have a critical spirit toward
others, especially about their motives as to why they did
something. We can't assume to know another person's heart; only God
can. When we are unfairly critical, overly harsh, or unduly
judgmental, we need to remember that God will use that same
standard on us. I don't know about you, but I need grace. So do
those I love. I'm going to try very hard to be as gracious toward
others as I'm trusting that God is going to be gracious with me.
PRAYER:
Forgive me, Abba Father, for the times that I've been far more
critical of others than I should be. Arouse within me a passion to
be gracious toward others so that they can see your graciousness
shining through me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
