John 7:24

Stop judging by mere appearances,
and make a right judgement.


Heavenly Father,

At times we make up our minds about what a person has done based on what we heard or saw,
But not always are things as they seem and our eyes can be deceived if the facts we do not explore.

Too often we are quick to judge a person from a closed mind and limited view,
Leaving no room to shed some light and bring insight that is new.

Jesus was judged for healing on the Sabbath and it was because the law was misunderstood,
And had everyone known the truth about the law, they would have seen that the deed was good.

Others judged that he was demon possessed because they couldn't explain his ways,
And it was their lack of knowledge, insight and prejudices that kept them blinded throughout their days.

We have come 2000 years into the future and not much has changed,
We still judge each other based on our limited minds and how our thoughts are arranged.

It goes to show that never should we decide anything until the whole story is told,
And that is through remaining detached and waiting to see the bigger picture once it unfolds.

The fool rushes in and decides from a limited view what has happened without a clue,
Which leaves them having to repent in the future, for their error, and seek forgiveness from you.

There is always more than one perspective and the wise man searches it out,
To ensure that once he concludes the matter he can do so honestly and without doubt.

I pray that I always stand back and seek to observe and gather all the facts,
And have you bring me new insight so that I may deal with others with Godly tact.

God Bless,
Gina
