Today’s reflection is titled:
It Is Not Right to Judge Others
“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and the measure you use will be used to measure you.”
— Matthew 7:1–2
Without realizing it, we often feel more righteous when we see other people’s failures or mistakes. We are quick to judge, as if we hold higher moral standards. However, Jesus firmly reminds us that what we sow through the way we judge others is what we will reap. Judging others is often not a matter of righteousness, but a sign that we are closing our eyes to our own shortcomings.
God calls us, especially as young people, to realize that everyone is fighting their own battles—battles that we may never fully see or understand. Therefore, sympathy and empathy are key to stopping ourselves from taking the position of judge. When we change our perspective from judging to understanding, that is when we are reflecting the love of Christ.
Remember, we are all recipients of God’s grace. If the Holy God Himself does not immediately destroy us when we fall and sin, then who are we to judge others harshly? Living in love means giving room for repentance, restoration, and hope—not condemnation.
What to Do?
1. Start by thinking clearly before saying anything to others.
2. Cultivate genuine sympathy; sympathy begins with ears that are willing to listen.
3. Be aware of your own position; do not immediately judge someone without considering their personal circumstances.
