Discernment vs Judgment

Luke 6:37-38ESV

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Often, we communicate and view ppl in a way that is based on what we have experienced or how we have been hurt...we arm ourselves with our words and conjugate our own thoughts, and before u know it u have just passed judgment on someone. Before u begin the evaluation process, ask yourself if u know the category in which God placed u in when it comes to viewing ppl. Did he deem any of us perfect or a judge? Also, ask yourself are u hiding behind your faults and using the card of judgment like the race card in order to hide your feelings? It is often helpful to be real with yourself on why u view others the way u do b4 u decide to pass judgment. Know when God has given u discernment or when u are in the natural mode of perception. What u sow is what u reap...would u really want others or your family to be viewed as u view others?
