Look Forward And Learn - The Folly Of Judging Others By Carmen Daecher

We all think we know ourselves, and we do - to an extent.

But it's when something happens to upset our smooth routine that we learn much more about ourselves.

Who are we, really, when a tragedy hits us, when we are beset by disappointment, betrayal, illness, boredom, depression and, yes, even shame if a transgression we hoped to hide came out in public? We can self-analyze all we want, but that' s not the real picture unless we are seeking to know ourselves when we're under crisis.

If it is so confusing to judge ourselves, how much more so is it impossible and wrong to judge others. I think the wisdom of the Lord Jesus was at its best when he said, "Judge not others that you may not be judged."

Do we ever really know ourselves? Maybe. But one thing is for sure - we can never really know what is in the depths of another person. Thus, our mission is to love, not judge.
