Judging?

            Luke 6:37-
Do not judgeothers and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
We are encouraged not to judge others that includes the way they do things, the way they talk or behave. We can correct but not in a judgemental way making them feel incompetent or foolish.(NLT)
As children of God, we should be compassionate in the way we handle people and try to understand where they are coming in the things they do. Don't always feel your way is the best (we are all guilty of this at one time or the other).
Recently, we got great news of a sister's safe delivery of an expected baby and i just wanted to be on top of everything and be in charge forgeting i had a family and required rest. My husband had to subtly ground me even when i argued he stood his ground and after a while of meditating on what he had said and looking inward, i took his side! If i had insisted on having my way i might have been overtaken by stress and i could have refused to see his way if  he had been high handed.
We need kindness when correcting others and if you are judging in your heart you can't be kind in handling the matter. When you judge, you see yourself as being better off, more cordinated, more sensible etc. Where do you think that places the person you want to correct?
Our saviour Jesus Christ is a compassionate father, we need to compassionate to our spouses, children, helps, colleaques and anyone that comes our way. Do not judge!
*******Have fun till we meet again*******
