Tricky - making judgements is part & parcel of life.
Am I driving safely? Do you put the meat in first, or the vegetables?
Will the pot plant be OK, or is it too cold to put it outside?
Some of us are too quick at passing judgements, on others or on ourselves. But this week’s epistle, from 1 Corinthians, says “Don’t do it!” It’s not my job, your job, anyone’s job. It’s up to God.
Jesus said not to judge in his sermon on the mount. I’ve always liked his parable about the weeds growing in the wheat. The lesson is the same: don’t judge, don’t pull out the weeds. You might pull out some good stuff, your judgement might be faulty, leave it to the angels, leave it to God.
Some of us will never learn this lesson properly, so we need to keep praying, “Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us”.
