As I was on my way home work and picking up Valerie from the grandparents, Beth Moore came on the radio. She was talking about the night before when she went to dinner with her family. She said she saw two women at the bar of the restaurant scantily dressed. What I noticed about this story was the fact that Beth Moore did make judgments about the two women. She could've ranted on and on about how barely dressed they were. She didn't talk about how they are bad influences to young girls.
What she realized was that she could've easily been one of them. She could be in a compromising situation. She was concerned for them. She cared for them. She had godly love for them. She made an observation about them but didn't judge them. She didn't say it but at that moment I'm sure she said a little prayer for them.
I learned that a true Christian who has compassion for others shouldn't criticize. Yes, everyone has an opinion but sometimes, at that moment, our opinions are not important. At that moment, instead of making a judgment and assumptions about someone, we should pray for them. She should be more concerned about their souls then focusing on what they are doing wrong. Try and help them. Sometimes help just means saying a prayer.
