Less Judgmental
It’s very hard not to judge. Because, it’s kind of some kind of nature inside of us. Maybe that’s what we think when we read about the title.
But, the verses from James 2 below will show us that we should reduce our discrimination and judgement towards others. Try our best to love them, even their appearance seemed doubtful. It’s not easy, all of us know it. But, we need to put this into practice every day. So that neither gold, diamonds, nor designer labels can make us value one person is less precious than the others. All of them are precious not because what they’re wearing, not because of their appearance… But, all are God’s creation that He creates carefully with His love. (-fon-)
My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
--- James 2:1-6
