Good Morning Friends,
“Now it is required that those who have been
given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or
by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear,
but that does not make me innocent. It
is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time;
wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and
will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his
praise from God.” (1 Corinthians 4:2-5)
I would not make a very good judge. I often
attribute motives to what people do that really aren’t there. Sometimes I read
into what they do in the most negative way possible. And at other times I read
into what they do in the most positive way possible. I’m just not a very good
judge. I can’t see into people’s hearts and minds. I don’t really know why they
do the things they do.
I’m not even a very judge of myself. There are
times that I am harder on myself than I should be. And there are other times
when I let myself off the hook because I’m blind to what’s really going on in
my heart.
I’m glad I don’t have to be the judge. That job
is already filled. It’s filled by One who has a much clearer picture of what’s
going in my heart and what’s going on in the hearts of others, too.
His, by Grace, Steve
