Judge not, that ye be not judged.

"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."

What is your image of God? It states in the Bible that we are created in God's image. But God loves everyone. Shouldn't we love everyone then? But take a look around the world. Hate really is a strong word.

We should be truly loving towards everyone. That is one thing I have come to learn about the gospel. Once you've discovered that this church is the true church, you love everyone.

I've run into people that I wasn't really fond of in high school, but now. I'm so excited to share the gospel with them, that I put everything behind me. They are my brother/sister and they too deserve to share the same happiness that I do.

I always hear gossip, and I know that gossip is horrible. Saying bad things about a person behind their back is just terrible. None of us understand what that person is going through. There may even be some things that that person has never revealed to anyone. So why judge them?

"11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" 

James 4:11-12

So, think about this today. Keep this in your heart. Don't judge. Like the Bible says, it isn't our place to judge.
