I know how judgement feels. I've been there. It hurts. I swear I've a disorder now where I feel everyone judges me. But in reality, I'm probably making it up in my mind.
How can we grow and succeed when we're judged or judge. Does anyone know the point of judgement?
I'm not saying I'm perfect. In fact before my first husband left me in the middle of the night I was quite judgmental. I judged failed marriages, pregnancies before marriage, drug addicts, people who were in debt, fake Christians. It hurts me to type this. How could someone have been so judgmental? Oh and the list goes on. I'm sure I judged everything. EVERYTHING.
But God calls us to love and accept. But do we really? Now that I'm in my happy little marriage with my two perfect boys it's easy to slip back into that comfortable life where you can sit in your dark room and judge. But don't let yourself.
Judgement hurts.
Something I like to do is this: When I see/hear something that I don't agree with my first reaction is to judge it.... but I try to put myself in that/their situation. I swear, it makes a world of difference.
Don't be fooled you could easily be put in that position. Life is never concrete. Remember this.
Footnote: Sorry for the over use of the word "Judge".
Now that I've this off my chest, I'm going to go enjoy a cup of hot coco by the fireplace and watch the big chunks of snow fall.
