John 7:24
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Judging others by appearances often leads to misconceptions and fosters division. This inspiration challenges us to look beyond the superficial and to seek understanding through empathy and compassion. By choosing to judge correctly, with discernment and humility, we open ourselves to see others in their true complexity. This approach promotes a culture of kindness, where people feel valued for who they are rather than for how they appear. Embracing this mindset helps us build relationships grounded in trust, respect, and acceptance. Let us commit to seeing beyond first impressions, recognizing the unique journey of each person. By refraining from surface judgments, we contribute to a community that values depth and sincerity, where every individual feels seen and appreciated. May we live with a heart that seeks to understand, creating connections that are meaningful and lasting, and fostering a world that is compassionate and inclusive.
Matthew 7:3
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
James 4:11
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Matthew 7:2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Romans 14:13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block in their way.
