You know we all think we know stuff and we all have these "opinions" that come to our mind as the "right" opinions of course. But have you ever really walked a mile in someone elses shoes? I mean really tried to imagine walking as they have walked? because if you have then you know you don't have enough information to do that. You don't know their history, their pain, their giftings, their weaknessess, their heart intentions, their struggles...really you don't. So when opinions otherwise known as judgements come to your mind about another human being. Cut it out. stop it. ignore it and don't heed it. Its accusatory nature will never help you or the one you have "opinions" about.
Its so much easiser to accuse someone else than to look at yourself truthfully and just take ownershihp of you regardless of the other. To quote a beloved author, don't listen to your emotions, they are secondary to the situation, just lean on the truth. This person needs love and you will benefit if you offer it. There is not a lot of love going around right now but a whole lot of judgement and opinions of others...let it go.
This is what Gods love looks like. It may experience great pain at the hand of the other, but it continues to believe the best about the other and assume the best. That they are doing the best they can given their life and what they are in right now. Dont worry, grace never hurt a soul. Trust me on this.
