Perfect Judge

Simply put

by 

Lynn A. Mickelsen

What should we do when we have knowledge of others’ problems?

1. 1. Don’t judge. Leave judgment to the Lord, the perfect judge. Let us not examine or explore others’ sins but look to their divinity. It is not ours to delve into others’ problems but rather to perceive the breadth of their goodness.
3. 2. 
   We must forgive. Although we may have been personally wounded, the Lord said, “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.” ¹¹
4. 3. Forget. A relentless memory can canker the most resilient spirit. Leave it alone; lay it down; put it away.
5. 
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

Judge Not

Could it not be said,

He or She that is without sin,

can point their finger to blame another,

focus on another's faults,

and be the JUDGE of their actions?

Who am to JUDGE another,

when I myself

is

imperfect?

(RP) reminds the reader of the

woman taken in adultery

and

Jesus masterful and pure response;

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone."

John 8: 10-11

If a person is so consumed with the shortcomings of others,

then that individual forgoes an opportunity

for improvement.

Rather than focusing on others,

 look within.

God gave us weakness, 

that we might be humble and look to Him

to be our strength...

not to JUDGE another

for the personal mission and trials

that were designed for that man, woman or child.

I see multitudes of stones daily.

I have ten fingers...

Rather than cast stones and point fingers,

may they be purposeful reminders to me

How can I be better?

JUDGE not.

Matthew 7:1

"Go and sin no more"
