DOT NOT JUDGE OTHERS

BY
Patriarch John Williams

INTRODUCTION
 
It is important that we evaluate ourselves every day to make sure if our thoughts, speech and actions are perfect in every way, and correct ourselves.  But it is not our duty or responsibility to judge, criticize and correct others, unless people ask for our opinion or counsel, or this responsibility has been imposed on us because of the special relationship between us.   

1. WHAT IS JUDGING?

• It could be Criticizing

• It could be Condemning

• It could be Making Negative Comments

• It could be Evaluating

• It could be Putting Down

• It could be Finding Fault

• It could be Pronouncing if it is the Right or Wrong

• It could be Blaming

• It could be Pronouncing other as Guilty

• It could be Rebuking or Reprimanding

2. WHY DO PEOPLE JUDGE OTHERS?

• Because of their Prejudice

• Because of their Hatred

• Because of their Jealousy

• Because of their ill-Will

• Because of their Pride

• Because of their Self Righteousness

• Because of their Critical Spirit

• Because of their Spirit of Condemnation

• Because of their Spirit of Accusation

3. HOW CAN WE STOP JUDGING OTHERS?

• By Making a Decision not to Judge

• By Accepting our Faults

• By Realizing our Short Comings

• By Being Humble

• By Resisting the Temptation of Condemning Others

• By Loving Others

• By Forgiving Others

• By Treating Others as Ourselves

• By Being Magnanimous

• By Being Gentle

• By Overlooking the Faults of Others

CONCLUSION

Basically judging others is not our business. It is neither desired by others, nor appreciated.  It is generally considered to be an act dislike, jealousy, enmity, disapproval, condemnation, hatred etc.  It is important and essential to judge or evaluate our selves, in order to avoid repetition of our wrong words or behavior.  Judging others conduct, speech or behavior is not generally appreciated even when it is done with a good motive or intention.
