Funny how quickly and often people judge others. Those who tend to judge the most, are those who claim to live a Christian life, are those who try SO hard and think they lead such a great witness....
I truly believe when we as Christians, or even just as people stay true to who we are and what we believe we will be more happy than trying to play this game figuring out what we have to do in order to be "who we are suppose to be." Do we know where we're suppose to end up? No. Do we always know who we are meant to be or what we are to do with our lives? No. So while we have those periods of time in our lives where we try to figure out who to be, where to go, what to do - there is no need to over analyze or get dramatic about it all. Quite frankly, those I know who tend to go overboard on analyzing ever little daily event in their lives are the ones who end up living in secrets and lies, disguising who they really are from family, their closest friends, and definitely the world. Because heaven forbid if anyone were to find out who they really were or what they have really done behind closed doors and when they think no one else it watching or knows....
...dirty little secrets.
Everyone has them, or has had one at some point in their life. And no one is perfect, especially not Christians. But even only being partially truthful still constitutes lying or if you disagree with "lying" it's still being deceiving.
The kicker here for me is how these kinds of people can be so quick to judge and then go out and do the same crap, justifying it or not, especially when they have the nerve to call someone out on perhaps poor judgement or a mistake, or even end a friendship over arguments or actions disagreed with but then turn around and look the other way when someone else does the same things.
And this person feels they hold some type of entitlment to choose which person to forgive and which to cast aside...like they hold some special authority on who deserves forgiveness and second chances; they think they have never played into fault so they like to play the "i forgive you but we cant be friends" crap but unconditionally forgive, support and standby someone who they again feel they hold the authority to judge on if this individual has truly changed their ways... well thanks for that great Christian witness...or really lack thereof.
Hypocrisy - it disgusts me beyond words. I am repulsed by it being slapped around consistently in society especially when those who are the biggest hypocrites are the ones who loudly announce and program to be Christians. And people wonder why Christians have such a bad rap... ^^this was just one of thousands of examples of "Proud Christians" - those who believe they are better than the next person and are granted this special right and authority to be worldly judges. As much as it angers me, I have the comfort in knowing they will one day be responsible to answer for the actions and judgements they continue to pass on earth....
