Don't be so quick to judge

Within the last few weeks, the Lord started showing me that I was judging a lot of stuff. I was judging my family, my friends, and even the church. I was assuming and saying stuff that were not true. You know the Lord talks a lot about judging others. He said in Matthew 7:1-5,

Matthew 7:1-5

New King James Version (NKJV)
Do Not Judge

7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

We can't just assume stuff with people. It is wrong and very deadly, because when we die and go to the throne of judgement, then the Lord will judge us to the measure we have given others. According to the dictionary, judging someone means to make a mental judgement. That would mean that when you make a mental judgement then it changes your entire decision process about that particular thing, or person to corrupt thinking. So, ask yourself, whether you are judging someone or not.
