Judge not, that you be not judged.
Matthew 7:1
What does it mean to be open-minded? The free on-line dictionary says it is being, “receptive to new and different ideas or the opinions of others.” Being open-minded is to me the opposite of being judgemental. The Bible tells us in Matthew 7:3-5, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, an then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Wow....I don’t think I need to say anything else on this entry:)))
Things to Think About:
When was the last time someone said something that made you judge them? Think again...be open-minded...next time you see that person....ask the Lord to help you understand them.
MAY I PRAY? OH LORD! Forgive us for being judgemental! You clearly do not accept this. Change us and help us to realize that you are an image in each person we meet. Help us to understand your creation a little more each day! Thank you for the opportunity to know you and your people! In Jesus name, Amen.
