​Many times we judge others for doing the exact same things we (used) to do ourselves...

we say to god,... "But Lord, look at me...
and God says no, look at you 'now'.


Resist judging others because they sin differently than you...

Compassion is more powerful than vengeance, and Love more powerful than hate.

"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 7:2 

​Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern],

Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden.

But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].

Are you looking?

Who did you bless?

A friend?
A Stranger?
