{devotion} who am I to judge?


How many times a day do I look at her and judge? I'm obviously superior. Right?


Wait, what makes me any better than her? My clothes? My truck? House? Family?

HE pricks my heart with a verse.

Romans 15:7 Therefore,accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

Christ received US to glory. He accepts US. (everyone!) If I look at her and I through HIS eyes, I see sinners saved by grace. Equals.

How many times is HE going to prick my heart about this before I truly learn?

accept one another It's a command, not a suggestion!

I must stop looking at her with my sinful-human eyes. I am no better than she.

 Lord, cover my eyes with your love and grace! Let me see others through YOU.

  1. Wise words this morning. I am reminded from the book of James that "every good and perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the Father of lights." Therefore, I have no room to brag. Anything good in my life came from God, so I should spend my time humbly bragging on him, instead of patting myself on the back as I compare myself to someone else. I visited from Be Not Weary to day, and I'm glad I did :)

  2. I too often find myself judging. I find the more time I spend with Him and His Word, the less I am to judge though and the more I am to be accepting and loving. Still something I work on often.
