Luke 6
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

39He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

admittedly, i'm one person who's quick to pass judgement on ppl. i would be the one who walks pass that smoker with watery eyes and poor posture, and write him off to be someone who will not achieve anything with the shortened life he's left with, i would condemn him as an idiot; a leech of society. i would be the one who looks at the average ah beng who struggles with his studies and loiters his entire life away, to be hopeless and downright useless person who might as well not exist in this world since it wouldn't have made a difference.

sometimes we pass such prideful and self-filled comments and judgements with such ease and haste without giving it a second thought. we think our own ways are perfect, we think that our own doings are righteous and worthy enough to condemn someone else. when in fact, we are all sinful, we all do wrong and have our own flaws. when we are a far cry from being perfect.

how can we attempt to give direction and pass judgement to someone when we ourselves do not know our own direction and what it really means to be righteous ourselves. we become nothing but hypocrites.

Romans 14
1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

13Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.

The bible teaches us to accept all man, just as God has accepted everyone even those of lesser faith. Who are we, servants of God, to judge another servant of God. Is that servant not accountable to God, but to other servants like us? are we that full of pride to think we can take the role of God, and take authority over these servants, that we may pass these judgements?

Instead, we should build each other up, with edifying words of support and love. Sharing in Godly fellowship, where we can read His word and be taught by Him. Reminding each other in love according to the Word, whenever we may see our brothers and sisters falling behind. And most importantly, keeping each other in prayer, and allow God to move.

For in Spirit, the world is one body. We do not say to our wounded finger, ''you are useless and worthless'', but instead we gently soothe it and with great care treat it the best we can till it heals. And that wounded finger becomes of unimaginable use. That smoker is like this wounded finger, who is useful if given that love and opportunity.

we need to ask for forgiveness, i need to ask for forgiveness.
