Judgment

I have tried to make my adult life and christian heart as judgment free as I can. I have better days than others, but on those days I pray. So it is extremely hard for me to get past the feelings of being judged by others. I am not who I was as an adolescence, I am not who I was as a teenager . I am however who I am today because of the insecurities and bad choices I made in my youth. Because of those things I grew stronger, less insecure and at that point I started making choices for me not for my peers to try to fit in. If I don't fit in now, well I'm okay with that because I am loved and I am happy. I don't know why I am posting this on my blog except to get certain feelings off of my chest so thank you for listening. And if I have ever judged or wronged anyone throughout my life that is reading this post, I am truly sorry.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.
~D.H. Lawrence

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 7:12).”

  1. Sometimes it just feels good to put it out there. We all judge. We do. But we can try not to, we can better ourselves every day. I am glad you are in such a good place right now!
