I am so guilty of judging. Tonight I watched the TBN
Memorial to Paul Crouch. I had posted when he died.
I was not all that into him as a person. And I did make
a comment on my Thread I had quit watching him about
13 years ago due to his embracing a religion we must not.

I know the man is not perfect, and I must give him credit
where he deserves it. He was instrumental in getting the
Gospel taken into all the world. He had a vision ( not literal)
he was called to see the Countries would get TV through
satellites.

I need to say, I judged what I saw in the flashy set, etc.
I was going by memory of some teachers I later did not
agree with. But when I saw the way the Memorial was put
together, and all the good he seemed to do, I realized I
should look for the good and set aside the feelings I had.

I was sadden to see his son Paul not in the photos. I was
never a fan of Matt. But, I was impressed he seemed to
love his father deeply and was kind to him. I hurt for Jan.
She is now a widow and lost. She really does need prayer.
Put aside the pink hair and look at the grieving face and say
a prayer for her and the entire family.

There is not one perfect family in this world. We are only
perfect when we are with Christ. May God forgive me, and
I know there will be things said that I will have hard time
not commenting on. ( negative issues ) I have read some before
tonight, and I realize all is not perfect. I pray I can keep from
judging. But for now, I say, it appears Paul Crouch had a heart
for soul winning. May it be so, Lord Jesus... may it be so.

Kay I totally love you..

What a great post! This has taught me a lot

My two most struggled with sins... Judging and thinking negative towards someone.

Wow I sure would be a mess without God's grace, mercy and forgiveness....

I suffer from the same sins, Lexi. I am working hard to stop judging and thinking negative thoughts about other people. It amazes me how quickly I have realized how often I sin each day. I am so grateful for God's forgiveness, I sometimes feel so unworthy of the love He has for me.

Yeah, we're never be perfect while on Earth. Only in Heaven shall all our imperfections be erased. Don't worry about this, for the lord has infinite mercy, which he readily dispenses to those for ask for it.
@Alexis
We all would be a mess without God's grace, mercy and forgiveness!
@Toska
Nah. We all deserve love. The lord is a loving God in which he creates only what he loves. God doesn't create anything that he hates. If God didn't approve of the thought of mere mortals being made in his image and likeness, then he wouldn't have bothered to create us humans to begin with. We all deserve his divine grace.

[HR][/HR]Yeah, yeah yeah... God bless you three...

Judging won't let me love. Love won't let me judge . . . . I chose LOVE. :)

I have noticed, some of the most godly people have the biggest rumors about them...

E.g. In my old highschool there was a rumor going around that the middleschool p.e. teacher was having an affair with a student... After I met christ I go to his church now :p and can see clearly how much he loves his wife... And God...

I wish I could give more examples but I don't think any are needed... Everyone knows a rumor or two about some Godly people that is false... Whether it be their spending habits, their attitude, or their sexuality...

Sometimes we see a guy in a brand new car, and think man he could have spent that 40,000 and gave it to charity... Not knowing that it was his fathers that passed away 2 months ago...

Edit: Great post Jaykay... I have noticed I judge far too much in this world... And your post was icing on the cake...

Thanks to all for commenting. I don't know why it is so easy to think
negative, or believe everything we read. Guess it is human nature.
I am reminded the scripture says " Love covers all things." That is so
convicting. I need to remember this every day. I think I inherited it.
And have always heard 'where there is smoke, there is fire.' Well,
there you have it. I just spoke negative. Back to square one. Next
step....Pray, the Lord helps me see only good in people as I once did.
Must remember Jesus said, "If you say you hate your brother, then
you have not the love of God in you. " Wow..... Love, Love, Love....
