Do not judge, but love and care.

S :

Matthew 7:1-2 NASB

Do not judge so that you will not be judged.  For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

O :

[ Extracted from Bible Hub ]
We must judge ourselves, and judge of our own acts, but not make our word a law to everybody. We must not judge rashly, nor pass judgment upon our brother without any ground. We must not make the worst of people. 

We as human tends to judge people by their appearance.
And we should not do this.
There is a saying "Do not judge the book by its cover" .

When someone does something wrong or they show their ugly sight, we started to judge them.

We tend to love the ones who love and care for us. And we hate those who hates us.
We will judge those who hate us, and we start to back mouth them and judging them.
And we should not even do this.
For the Bible has written

Matthew 5:43-44 NASB
You have heard that it was said, 'You  shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

When you start to love them, we are unlikely to judge  because we can see the love between each other.
The love the God has given us.

A :

I should not judge others.
I should not condemn others.
I should not compare with others.

Only God can judge,
Only God can condemn,
I only can compare with Jesus Christ.

Because we as mankind is all the same.
Sinful, hateful in nature.
However, Jesus is pure in heart, clean, sinless and good. He is love. He is God. He is everything.

Every time If I start to judge others,  I must rebuke that thinking.
Pray to God for help, confess and repent.

First I have to judge myself and not others.
I will leave it to God to judge.
I have no rights to judge them.

Most importantly, I must love, pray and forgive the people who hurt me before.
When there's Jesus in me, I will not judge others.

I will always thank God for bringing friends for life.
Thank Him for everything that He done.

P :

Dear heavenly Father,
I pray that You give renew my heart, and give me a loving heart. So that I can love my enemies.
Giving me a heart of forgiveness,  so that I can forgive and love those who had hurt me.
Instill me the heart like Jesus, so that people can see Jesus in me.
Lord, help me not to judge others but to love and care for them.
Thank You Lord for the love You have given me.
In the name of Jesus,
AMEN !
