Because she's the fairest in the land!!!! Good morning all, how have you been? Before I enter the fleshy part of today's blog let me tell you that God has been doing wonderful things in my life. I have never felt so joyful and uplifted in my life. I thank Him every day for all of you who make me feel His love. Onwards and upwards to today's post.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" Matthew 7:1. Tonight, I am going to the Jonas Brothers concert with my best friend. I used to mock her for enjoying the Jonas Brothers and now I love them. I also love things like iCarly and Drake and Josh, and yes, DeGrassi. Are these stupid and childish? Yes. But they are dumb entertainment that make my brain relax. Sometimes you just need some dumb tv. It's easy to make fun of watching these shows because they are dumb and teenagerish. However, who is anyone to say that I am dumb and teenagerish for watching them? Who are we to judge anyone else? God is the judge, we are simply here to follow in Christ and spread His love.
I feel that lately, for the past month or so, much judgement has been handed around on various matters. With judgement comes gossip, which I detest. How dare we talk badly of God's children right in front of Him? With this judgement and gossip comes a need for those who are subject to change themselves, change their lifestyles and hearts to fit with those of the world because we make them feel inferior and not worthy through our gossip or judgement. Our words and actions, which to us seem second nature, cause God's perfectly crafted individuals to change themselves. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 reads (the end part) that "we are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts".
Some people judge and gossip because they simply don't care if the other person hurts. Some people do it out of the concern in their hearts. Some people feel they deserve to dish out what they have received. I don't know exactly the reasons for anyone spreading gossip and judgement but I do know that it is never a helpful thing. It is incredibly easy to judge what we do not understand. But today I ask you, please stop. Think before you judge. No, don't think. Pray. Let God fill your heart before you decide that a young woman is a slut or that a man is an idiot or that a relationship should not happen because of the difference in age or that someone isn't a believer because they curse. We have all been perfectly designed. Don't knock it. And if you see someone whose heart has been broken by harsh words and stereotypes, please play Jesus to them and show them God's love and heart through yourself. No one should be made to feel unloved by the ones God has chosen to love unconditionally. And to anyone I have made feel this way, I apologize. We are humans and prone to this, but there is no excuse. When God has called you to love, you have to go against the grain of the world. I love you all.
