“ Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you. Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. “ Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. [Luke 11:9-13]

As Christians we often face situations in our relationships with others, whether they are in the faith or not. This reading plan will give you clear guidelines on how to identify problematic people and how to deal in a mature way with them, what to do with those who hurt you and how to handle yourself and manifest Christ in the midst of different situations with wisdom.
Have you reached a point of emotional brokenness and hidden pain? Are you crying for the Lord to heal you and give you some light of hope? I pray these guided biblical meditations will help you return to sanity by accepting that Christ absorbs your agony and your judgment. He has taken on the full weight of your self-condemnation. He cries your tears, takes your grieving, and brings you peace.
When you judge someone, you are separating yourself from them. You’re putting a dividing line between you and the person you are judging. You are categorizing that person because they don’t meet “your standard” of how someone should act, dress, talk, etc. But who made you the Judge? Click "Start Plan" and learn to see others how God sees them!
Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this timely devotional. Choose to Love. Choose to see others through the lens of Christ. Choose to Love instead of criticize. Choose to Love instead of hate. Choose to Love instead of becoming bitter. Choose to Love instead of becoming offended. Choose to Love. Let God lead your heart as you read this powerful message.
