Judge Nothing

Lady of Light

In 1 Corinthians 4:5, it says:

"Therefore, judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."

Sometimes, we have a tendency to judge things when we don't know - these judgments can be positive or negative and yet inaccurate. I believe this is why the apostle Paul wrote this verse to the church in Corinth because basically, God is the only one who is capable of judging accurately because He knows the hidden things and what is in each man's heart. That is not to say that we shouldn't discern certain things for our own good and to help us make good decisions but there is a difference between discernment and judgment.

The commandment to love is above all judgments we may make of others. Try to remember this in your dealings with others and you will find that it is easier to trust God and commit people to Him, and be free to love people.

God bless you and have a great day!
