JOURNAL/MERCY NOT JUDGMENT

JOURNAL/MERCY NOT JUDGMENT




“It does NOT concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal; I DO NOT even pass judgment on myself...the one who JUDGES me is the Lord-for he will BRING TO LIGHT what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the MOTIVES of the heart.....” 1 Corinthians 4:3-5


I have seen MANY ACTIONS in my life-NEVER have I seen a motive-for that reason alone I SHOULD REFRAIN from judging another human action and human being


For that reason and in the Lord's PRAYER-the Lord tells us-”FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES as we forgive those who trespass against us”


JUDGE NOT


DEAR LORD-we pray that you give us the HUMILITY to refrain from judging others this day and ALL the days of our lives


IT is a great day to to be ALIVE in your EVERLASTING love and forgiveness for us

MERCY NOT JUDGMENT




Who
Who are you
Who am I
To be passing judgment on someone else
In today’s world


Give mercy
Give compassion
Give someone a free pass
Give someone love
God’s love


Look at the story of Daniel
Did you know
That the name Daniel means
“God is my judge”


Daniel goes public
He confesses his sin
And the sins of God’s people


How can Daniel
Be so sure
God will forgive him
Forgive them


Because Daniel knows
That he has the history of God
On his side


Daniel knows
That our God
Is a God of love and compassion
He has rescued his people
Over and over again


God saved
Daniel’s 3 friends
From the blazing furnace
God saved Daniel himself
From the lion’s den


And in Luke 7
We find Jesus saying,
“Do not judge
Or you too will be judged
For in the same way
That you judge others
You will be judged
And with the measure you use
It will
Be measured against you”


Take Daniel as your model
Give mercy---give love


Take Jesus
As your model
And as your God


Because giving someone else mercy
And not judgment
Is God’s way


Give someone love
Give someone a free pass
And do it TODAY
