“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you. “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

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?
