If we are being honest a lot of times we judge our brothers and sisters. This is something that has bothered me, but I didn’t realize that unconsciously I would do the same. I would dislike people who would laugh and judge when someone did something wrong. I would say why not instead of laughing at them, you help them instead. Sometimes we forget where we ourselves came from. We forget where our God took us out of. Instead of using that as a tool to help lead others out from captivity, the way God calls us to, we do the opposite. We judge them, condemn them and don’t lead them the right way. Most of the time we just hurt people and lead them away from God. But you know what scripture says…

“Therefore you have no excuse, you foolish person, everyone of you who passes judgment; for in that matter in which you judge someone else, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. But do you suppose this, you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things, and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God?” Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬.

We are literally no better than our brothers and sisters. The word of God also says…

““Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned” Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬.

This topic has touch my heart so much because we don’t even realize sometimes that we judge/condemn our neighbors. The word of God also says,

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬.

Basically, don’t think that you aren’t capable of falling. What is crazy to me is that a lot of times we spend so much time focusing on how our neighbors are sinning, that we tend to not watch out for ourselves and end up falling as well. Or even, we are looking at the speck in the eye of our neighbors, failing to understand that we have a log in our eyes as well (bigger). We are hypocrites because we also are sinning. We get so distracted and lose ourselves in the process. Which is why this walk is a daily renewing, pray for your neighbor. Help out and lay a hand just like our Father in Heaven did/does with you as well. Your neighbor isn’t perfect, just like you aren’t either. We are all on this journey together, we need to lift each other up. Instead of shaming, hurting, judging and condemning, help… Now im not saying condone what is wrong, im speaking about when people go around telling people’s business to shame them. Don’t go gossiping around thinking that you are any better, because you are not! Instead pray for them and ask God to give you direction to help them or to send someone else to help them. As I am ministering to you, im ministering to myself as well. A lot of times we do this because of our culture, it’s all we saw growing up. But Jesus Christ came to bring a new order, which means he doesn’t call us to live that way. We aren’t supposed to be living like everyone else, but rather like Jesus lived here on earth.
