Kindness Day 61
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Luke
6:37
During courtroom trials, a verdict is not given until all the
evidence has been presented. Only then does a judge or jury make a decision
about the case. Away from court, it has become common for opinions and
critiques to be made about a person based on individual acts or associations. How
would we appear if God treated us based on a moment’s glance during our past
failures or times of weakness? If we were to be judged based on our fruit, we would
hope that the decision would not be made until we were fully ripe.
Our acts or attitudes of kindness to others should not focus
on temporary or former circumstances. We can choose to be kind regardless of someone’s
past acts or current situation. Our kindness should have a long term and
eternal view. This view allows us to be kind, regardless of the moment. Our
kindness should never condone what is wrong. However, we should never forget
the grace that God abundantly provides.
