The Verdicts of Judging Others.

  Ever hear someone say, "Don't judge me!" or "It isn't your place to judge me,"? I am sure everyone has heard someone get angry due to someone "judging" them. 
  Although the bible says that only the Lord may judge, judging is apart of life; it is apart of making decisions for one's self. Judging other people on the way they dress or the way they look may not always be considered as the right thing to do, but one would be a hypocrite in saying that they have never done it before. Judging may not be the "right" thing to do, but more or less, we ALL do it.
  Most of the time, when one says "Don't judge me," it is after they have done something they know is wrong. I over heard one person say "You shouldn't judge others."  When someone does not want to be judged, it is normally because they either know they are wrong, or because they are insecure about themselves. Who likes being told they are doing wrong?  But, if one knows that they are doing the wrong thing, and are being judged, it should not bother that person.  I know that personally I do not mind what others say, or how others "judge" me.  To me, God's opinion is the only one that matters, when, indeed, it comes to judgements.
  We must keep in mind that others judgements are not always a bad thing.  Through communication and the "judgement" factor, people who are sinning can be convicted through the Holy Spirit.  If someone is doing wrong, and no one ever calls them out on it, nine out of ten time, they won't change their ways. 
  Judging, in some cases, can be a rude and obnoxious thing, but, it can also be used toward the Glory of God.  So next time someone judges you, look at your heart and examine it.  If you are doing something wrong, it is good that it bothered you; and CHANGE.  If you are doing everything right, shake it off, and keep on doing what is right.



 "Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts."



"Everyone's projecting onto you, or you feel like everyone is judging you. I feel like I'm being judged a lot of the time. You become really self-conscious."

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
