Condemning people (whatever their sin)
Takes away joy and grace,
And deprives you of many blessings in your life!

We all have sinned. We have chosen our sin over our God. And we have not done it just once. As if it was an accident. No. We have denied Him over and over. And then over and over again.

So who are we kidding? Now we want to judge our brother? Judge our sister? Let’s stop looking at others and look at ourselves!

We have taken the beautiful garment of this life given to us by our most loving God and defiled it with our own lusts. Our own putrification.

And we are going to judge?

Dear God! Have mercy on me! I must be an absolute fool.
