You see we are humans and humans judge others. We form these opinions and from our opinions and knowledge in this world we choose to look at others through those same glasses. You know the ones we are wearing and the thoughts that we have and the convictions that we personally experience. We often tend to think others should think and see like we do, but it isn't so. When we realize this fact, we often jump into the miry pit of judging others.
Sometimes it's just a simple mis-understanding and we see something and jump to conclusions, other times we get ideas in our head and twist them without even realizing it, but we do it.
We are all so very different each and every one but because we are also so very relational and created by our Creator to be relational then we want everyone to see it our way, we want to be like others, we want others to be like us, because it makes us feel connected and not so lonely.
I want to challenge you the next time you feel or catch yourself judging another to pause, and think about their motives, think about the person and accept them for who they are.... Accept them for being different, accept them for thinking different, accept them. My friend, that is love in it's finest form, to accept others for who they are and not for who you want or think they should be. If they are not living like they should or doing like you think they should, pray for them, smile and love them.
We can change this world together through love.
