GET WHAT YOU GIVE

 
Luke 6:37


"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." NIV


"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven." KJV


God has given us minds that are free to think and make decisions and opinions. Sometimes we take advantage of this and rather than see the world through the eyes of God as we should, we form our own "fleshly" opinions and decisions. Out of our own knowledge and information, we judge, criticize, and hold grudges, because it seems fair to do so. God's Word warns us against this way of thinking. When we allow our own minds to rule our thoughts, we are bringing judgement on ourselves. We will be treated the same way we think and feels about others.


Heavenly Father, please forgive us for being critical and unforgiving. Help us to remember the unfathomable mercy You have shown us so that we can in turn show it to those around us. Give us hearts of love that will drive out our being judgmental, condemning, and unforgiving. We pray earnestly in the name of Jesus, Amen.
