Judging or stereotyping??

Matthew 7:1-5 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye.

The Bible shows that we often make a big deal bout other people's faults. Why so?? Shouldn't we be looking in the mirror ourselves? This saying goes it's like trying to get a speck of dust out of our friend's eye, while we have a huge stick in our own eye. Have we ever thought, somebody has a weakness and we don't possess that weakness, however, I too have other weaknesses on my own. Therefore, I shall not compare with him/her. As God also clearly stated in the Bible that only He alone can judge us.

Ecc 3:17 I said to myself, "God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

I truly believe God has made us all differently. Emotionally, physically etc. Rather than looking at each others faults and differences, shouldn't we help overcome the problems together and continue to pray for each other? There must be a purpose if God has placed you into someone's life yea? Not judging or pointing fingers, but to use your strength and overcome the weakness of the other. Instead of finding faults in others' lives, why not we worry most about ourselves in the first place? Think about Jesus too. Was He ever someone who would tell all the faults of everyone he met? No. Jesus frequently taught people right from wrong, based on God's Word.

God loves the college cleaners, the thieves, the conman, poor and needy. We see them everywhere, instead of rebuking or judging em, why not try to reach out to em? They are the ones who needs to know Christ most.

Whenever we face any circumstances we feel all angered or dissatisfied with someone, we should always ponder upon this question, What Would Jesus Do ? (WWJD)

In conclusion, Let's Not Judge.
