Bless Others

I SEE EACH PERSON GUIDED BY THE CHRIST INTO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT AND GOOD.

A French proverb says, “To know all is to forgive all.” How easy it is to look at others and be critical of their shortcomings. Yet, unless we are willing to give up attitudes of criticism and condemnation, we cannot expect health, happiness, or a real sense of freedom. Many people are held back by judgmental attitudes.

None of us really knows what we would do if we were in another person’s situation. We only think we know. Have you ever found yourself with a problem for which you had condemned others and found you handled it no better than they did?

Jesus said, “Judge not.” If you really want to grow spiritually, you must give up critical and condemnatory attitudes. Instead of criticizing, bless. Pray for others’ understanding and guidance, and trust God for the rest.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? (Matthew 7:3)
