Lent with Lozza — Day Eighteen

One of the hardest things to refrain from is judgement, at least in my opinion. It's easy to have preconceived notions and make rash judgements on someone's character. The Bible is clear about this not being our place. 

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

-Matthew 7:1

If we were perfect and holy maybe we could, but we aren't. God is the only one to whom any of us answer to. It's not our place or our purpose to judge while we are on earth. When we criticize and belittle others we are disrespecting God and his authority. We need to model ourselves after Christ, showing mercy and grace to others.
