"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.  (Luke 6:36)

I was one of the world's worse condemners, judges and person of non-forgiveness.  I use to sit around, look at people and decide what was not right about them.  Never did I attempt to see what was right about them.  Then one day, God let me know in no uncertain terms that that was not my job, but if I really wanted to do that, I better understand the ramifications of judgment, condemnation and unforgiveness.  I would hear others judge people and I would judge the person judging.  Not my job.  I believed that I did not have to forgive someone if they hurt me.  Bad people, in my opinion, were just a waste of time.  Over the years, however, I learned that I was a bad person, someone had forgiven me and I was condemned to death.  Had it not been for my Lord and Savior, I would have no hope.  On the same token, the person whom I thought was so bad, could not forgive and had condemned, was just as important to Christ as I was.  I have also learned that many times, people act as they do because of hurts, hangups and habits that they have not yet overcome and honestly may not know how.  I have had many issues.  I have not overcome all of them and never will on this earth.  It is a life-long process.    The difference between then and now is that I choose to travel through this process with my Lord leading the way.  I must ask Him daily to remove me and add Him.  I found not too long ago, that my worst enemy, most of the time, was myself.  Once I move me out of the way, things become easier and life is much more pleasant.
