| | I know I haven't updated here in a while. But oh well. I have something I want to share, so I'm going to share it.
I don't know how most ppl see other ppl. But for me, I might be walking down the street, getting the mail, being in church or other events were there's people, and (I guess you could call it this) I see them through God's eyes. I look at someone who dresses really skanky (very rarely, and definitely not at church) and instead of the usual, "Oh, look at that slut. She doesn't know what she's thinking." I usually think, "I wonder why she feels she needs to present her body in that fashion. Did her father run out on her? Did something horrible happen? Has anyone told her about Jesus?" Now, I'm not the type to walk up to ppl and tell them a word from God or something like that. But, I feel I shouldn't judge people. People you know and don't know. What I have been thinking recently, and this has kinda become my motto, and it is "There is usually a reason someone is the way they are." What? Well, I won't always know. But what I do know is there's a cycle in our society, and that is a couple have a kid, they treat it bad (or something bad happens to it during the course of their life), kid grows up and has a kid of their own, does the same thing their parent (or other family, friend, or accquentance) did. And it keeps going on and on and on. Sad, but true. We live in a society that does not embrace God and His Son. The result is messed up lives, not bad people. People will be bad, I assure you they will. But, I believe, there is always a reason that is. We don't know their past. Maybe we do. If we do, then we should probably not judge them so harshly. But, I just wanted to say this, especially to anyone who feels they are judgemental. I'm not pointing fingers, I don't even know if anyone struggles with this. But this has been on my heart. People, even the bad ones, need Jesus, not judgment. Leave the judgment to God. We are called to love one another, even our enemies. This has just been on my heart the last couple of months.
