Stirred By The Scriptures

Judged

I had the experience of being judged this past weekend by someone who didn’t even know me. I didn’t like the way it felt. They passed judgement on the basis of an external fact without any consideration of who I am or what is in my heart.  In all honesty the initial hurt has given way to anger. Why do we do this to one another?  Every time I stop and think about it I steam a little more.  But it has also left me thinking about how many times I have been guilty of the same thing, probably way too often.  How thankful I am that God doesn’t evaluate me on the basis of externals.  Lord, my prayer is that I would see others the way you do.
