Lord, whatever You have to do, keep me from having a judgmental spirit. Nothing drives away people from You more than making snap judgments about them without knowing their stories (Matthew 7:1). Most times, we give someone a quick glance over and think we have them figured out. We are so wrong! You see their lingering, unresolved soul wounds. We do not. Their fears lay bare before You, but not to us. Their suspicions about You and who You are increase when they see those who claim to know You hating and devouring one another. So much for that “love your neighbor stuff” Christ-followers are commanded to follow. Forgive me, Lord. Refresh my spirit today with an increased awareness of Your Presence, so I can bless others as You desire me to. May Your Spirit of love, kindness, forgiveness, and mercy be renewed in me. I want to show folks who You really are and what You can do in their lives.
Thank You, Lord, for the freedom not to judge others but to love them as You do. Keep changing me and use me to draw others to You, Jesus. Amen
THANKFUL
