Same Measure

“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 There is a difference between judgment and observation without condemnation. ~ Lawton, Sabrina Universal. Each Day a Gift: A Gratitude Devotional for Women: 90 Devotions to Make a Habit of Praise and Thanks (p. 54).

Loving everyone you meet, all the people you know, is an idea, an ideal to be achieved. When we follow the two rules. They’re the two top commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Surely when we can manage love for everybody, we see things differently. We can notice differences but by choosing they become mere observations devoid of the judgment we’ve often made, naturally substituting noticing distinctions for the classification of deficits we once practiced. Let us move through today without any condemnation… only love!
