"We witness other people's storms from the shelter of our own perspectives. Let us be mindful that we don't add the cold rain of judgement to their already soaked spirits." -Liz Newman
The phrase "the cold rain of judgment" creates a powerful image. It holds no encouragement, comfort, or hope. When people are hurting, a spirit of corrective-ness is not a "Fruit of the Spirit."
Love lifts others up. Listening builds relationships. The storms do not last forever.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." -Matthew 7:1-2
Today, I am grateful for the reminder to not judge others.
