“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
It's so easy to form an opinion about someone calling them weird, crazy, slow, unfriendly, 'trying too hard' et el when you have absolutely no idea the pain this person is hiding. For some it takes the Grace of God to get out of bed every morning and push through the day. If one has not been there you will never understand, walking around with what feels like carrying 100 Ibs on your shoulders, only to be treated rudely by your fellow human beings and we wonder why the suicide rate is so high.
As Christians let's be very mindful of the way we view and treat others. I'll never forget the day after a failed suicide attempt, I desperately called my Pastor at the time which turned out to be a disaster because for some reason he was very unpleasant to me. He didn't even give me a chance to talk, the minute I called him, he had serious attitude. The devil was indeed at work! He assumed that I was missing Bible studies and Church because of rebellion. What he didn't know was that I was extremely depressed, no job so my phone was off, could not afford transportation, I had basically hit rock bottom, and him of all people who knew my story should have known better. No I was not asking for any sympathy, I just needed to hear the word of God, I needed to talk to someone... It's a miracle that I am still hanging in because that crushed me but I thank God for being there for me. The lesson I learned is to never rely on humans, only on God.
As you start this week, please remember not all smiles are truly from the heart. Be a blessing to someone, empower them, uplift them rather than throw stones. Take heed to today's daily dose, it's real out there bros & sis a lot of us are going through trials and it's just a simple act of kindness that may brighten our day. A Blessed week to ya ♥
