Judging

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Matthew 7:1-2

This is something that I have been struggling with lately. Now, I'm not writing this so people can say "Oh, she's right. She judges everyone" because that's definitely not true. But I have cast judgement recently and I write this as a testimony of how God can take that emotion away. This verse commands us not to judge, for God is the only one who holds that power. By judging others, we are sinning. No matter what aspect we are judging; looks, clothes, lifestyle... It doesn't matter. I personally feel convicted and I have been praying that God will forgive me and change my thoughts. Every one struggles with judging at some point in their lives. For some this is a daily thing. But God forgives and I know He has forgiven me. He is working to make something positive out of every negative thought and sin that we have.
