Luke 6:37

"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not and ye shall not be condemned; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven"
This verse is very important for us to remember, because it is so easy for us to judge and condemn others.
Be it for their race, religion, or any other endless reasons. As humans, it seems that it is our nature to judge and condemn others.
I know that it hurts God's feelings when we judge and condemn others. Everyone is a creation of our Father in heaven, and we have no right to judge anyone, nor condemn them. That is God's place, not ours.
I also think it is important to realize that just as Jesus commanded, we are to do unto others as we would want done to us. This verse shows us that in fact how we treat others is important to God, and He will treat us in the same manner as we treat others.
As Christians, we should be living a love filled life, and not one of judgment and condemnation, but rather understanding and compassion.
My prayer for all who read this is that they will begin to see everyone as precious, because they are to God. I pray also that a spirit of compassion enter their hearts, and they become a source of comfort and inspiration to others, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
