Judge not , say’s - My Lord

Image result for judge not


We are so quick to judge others,speak about others, gossip about others, malign others and pull them down at every single given opportunity.Why ? 

Such kind of conversations steal the show and some of us thrive on it .It gives us a high and we really enjoy every conversations where someone is the butt of our ridicule. Specially if that person has not made it to the party or is not around then we leave no stone unturned to speak all possible things and derive that fun and laughter on that persons behalf . 

Been there done that . 

But God is so categorical when He says that -Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen-Ephesians 4:29 

So next time we speak about others let this verse just pop up in our minds and let’s put a check or a guard on our lips before we speak ill about anyone . 

After all Christ never condemns us. He has come to set the captives free,the sinners free and to save the weak from perishing . 

Let’s also not be quick to judge others . Sometimes we are so judgemental and opinionated and don’t give people a benefit of our doubt .“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 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 7:1-2 

Sometimes our judgements overshadows someone else’s point of view too . We speak so negatively about a person that our friends too look at that person in the same way without even giving a chance for that person to prove herself/himself. We take the liberty to have the last say in someone else’s character.

So let’s first take out the plank in our own eye than focus on the speck in someone else’s eyes . Matthew 7:4 

Like the Psalmist says in Psalms 133:1 “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”

Wow that would be like a dream world to live in - this can become a reality if we do not confirm to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Romans 12:2

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to...

The wrong pin 🙃

Image
All excited for our ladies day out , I headed to meet my friend for a time of fun and gastronomic treats . I followed the location pin she shared with me and once I heard “ you have arrived, your destination is to your right "  very expectantly I stepped out but to my utter disappointment could not locate the building where my friend lived. I argued with the security that the building should be somewhere around and that he might not be aware 🫢.  However when I called my friend she agreed to have made the mistake of sending me the location pin of her office instead of the residence pin 📌 🙆‍♀️. Humbled and apologising to the security I now had to reroute and drive to the right address being behind our schedule by 45 mins .   Putting things into perspective and applying this into life , how often do we blindly follow people , ideas , religion, and end up in places and situations that we least expect.   How is it we are so blind to the fact that there is only one TRUT...

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ

2 Corinthians   2:15   One Sunday morning on one of my metro rides in Delhi , I got super impressed when I saw a young gentleman(non Indian) carrying a big Bible with him . During our very short conversation he told me that he is new in Delhi and still figuring out a church to go to . I was happy to help and decided to give him my number when he asked me for the same.   However this was a bad decision. Despite him knowing that I have a family he started   to bother me with unwanted calls . It was getting too much that my husband had to intervene. He was upset that I trusted a stranger with my number. However I got easily misled by the big Bible that he was carrying and thought he would be a fine gentleman! Must say this incident left me to be more wiser and discerning. Carrying a Bible does not mean that we carry Christ like qualities in us . Christ like qualities translate into actions . This can only happen when we become not only hearers ...
