Devotions Part 2

Judge no one else

2/2/2025

Do not judge others unless you wish to be judged by God. I made a mistake of freezing when hearing of who the persons religion is and tried to be careful of what I spoke next but I guess I freaked the person out cause they left the store to probably go purchase a Bible they were looking for somewhere else. It was my fault on my end because I should not have frozen like that, I should have celebrated the fact that they were looking for a Bible because they would be one step closer to salvation with God's Word in their hands. What I'm saying is, I froze because of their religion being Jehovahs Witness. I judged them based on their religion, and that is not okay. I was so sorry that I had apologized to God, and it has been my biggest regret ever since. Every once in a while, I would remember it and always apologize to God about it and maybe even pray for the person to be led to the Lord. I had always prayed to help witness to others, but I choked on this and relied on myself instead of relying on God for help. I needed help at that moment, but I just choked and judged the person based on their religion. That is not something you are supposed to do. God is the One Who will judge us when we all get to Heaven. Jesus is our Mediator to help guide us and intervenes for us. We should leave all the judging to the Lord and just receive those who wish to receive Salvation with an open mind and judge them not based on their past. I'm trying to do the same, but it has been hard with the Devil in my ear and it seems like I'm not yet ready to witness but I have been doing that by working at a Christian store, saying God bless you to everyone, being a song leader at my church, praying to God over my meals, and so much more. It seems like I shall not be able to witness like everyone else does with this regret weighing me down, but I know with God and His Son on my side, I shall overcome anything. "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 NIV.

God bless
Amen
