Friday Already!!

Man you guys, I really am trying to be punctual with these. I read a post by someone the other day that seemed to question another person's Godliness. It read as if there was some frustration on behalf of something that this person in question didn't understand. I know clear as mud right? Anyway let me put it this way....it is easy and dangerous to cast judgement on someone just because of their moment of frustration. We all know that when we are held responsible for events or even just certain activities in our daily life we like to think we know what is going on. The frustration this person could have been feeling was most likely because of their lack of being in the know of a situation that they should have been in the know of. See when someone is held responsible for something, they will be the one questioned in times of uncertainty. To judge someone as being in it for themselves and not for God is really kind of harsh. We need to be careful, and understanding in those times because the Bible is clear that the way we judge others is the way we will be judged. It reminds me of a scripture found in that same chapter.....Matthew 7 verse 3 says " and why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own." Jesus is pointing out that the minute we become judging like that over something we really know nothing about, we become the bigger problem. We cast a negative spin on the situation, sometimes with disgust, (as seemed to be in the post), when we really need to be discerning instead. Discerning would be to try and figure out why that person was seemingly upset or at least trying to understand the person and their position in the situation. So we need to be careful with the way we present our concern of others when we don't understand there actions. Then maybe the best thing to do would be to go to them and ask them straight up instead of writing a blog or a live journal about them. Afterall, even Jesus himself showed some disgust when he cleared the temple, but I would be willing to say that there was absolutely no change in his Godliness. :)

Peace
