Luke 6:27-38; February 24th 2025

Yesterday the bible reading was about judging and condemning and I sat and listened with a bit of a guilty conscience and a heavy heart. I know this is an area I need to work on.

I did read this thought in The Word Among Us…… God is the perfect judge. We can trust him to do HIS job. He knows when to be merciful, and He knows when to bring correction. He doesn’t need our help. I pray and share:

Good Morning Heavenly Father;

Thank You for Your Word that causes me to reflect, pray and often work to adjust my thoughts, my action and my direction. The writings in Luke brought about a lot of reflection.

Please help me to avoid the trap and habit of judging others. I remember the thought by Wayne Dyer, “When you judge another person, you don’t define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge.”

Father, soften my heart, lead and guide me. I don’t want to be the “person who needs to judge”. Help me to do as You have taught and commanded. Teach me to love my enemies, to pray for those who mistreat me, to turn the other cheek.

Teach me to be merciful, as You are merciful. In the Mighty and Merciful Name of Jesus I pray and ask these things, Amen.
