Jesus said to his disciples: "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you."
- Luke 6:36-38
It is so easy for me to carelessly comment, criticize or judge just about anyone. I've recently found that focusing my thoughts on Jesus lets me see the world in a different perspective. It shows me that each being is a result of his environment. Who am I to pass judgement when I have not walked in their shoes?
