Sometimes we judge people by their past——past mistakes, past attitude, bad decisions, bad choices, vices, etcetera.
We don’t consider the fact that maybe that person was struggling to change his bad behavior, coping with the consequences of his/her mistakes, going through a difficult time dealing with situations or already close to breaking down due to depression and anxiety.
We have so many opinions about things, people, situation, circumstances. We love to gossip, talk about other people’s lives, imagine the consequences of someone’s decision, look down at people for choices they make—and then we go to Church on Sunday—raise our hands to worship, cry our heart out in prayer and profess that we love GOD.
What we don’t realize is the fact that when we talk too much, criticize too much, meddle too much, think too much and scrutinize too much other people’s lives, we are feeding our ego, we feel superior, we exposed a darker side of ourselves, we feel righteous and unaware that we are close to destroying a person.
Remember: there’s a “thin line” between showing your love and concern from judging people. Please be careful when you cross that line.
