Never judge anyone because you never know what kind of battle he or she is fighting. No wonder Jonathan Harnisch quipped:”the strongest people are not those who show strength infront of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know about.” Someone once said “ walk a mile in my shoes, see what I see, feel what I feel, then maybe you’ll understand why I do what I do. Until then don’t judge.” Determine never to judge others without finding out the reason behind their actions. Never draw hasty conclusions even when you think you have close evidence. Give everyone you meet the benefit of the doubt; time will reveal who they are and why they do what they do.

There are two things that love does;Love gives and love forgives. When you reach to someone in forgiveness, it doesn’t mean that you approve of what he or she has done. It doesn’t mean that you want them to do it again. Reaching out in forgiveness means that you value the love that God has for the person and you want a channel through which that love will flow to them. Holding on to hurt and wishing or praying that something bad happens to the person that has hurt you is like drinking poison and hoping that another person dies. Unforgiveness is poison. You are the one it hurts not the person that has hurt you. God says Vengeance is mine! Vengeance is not yours! Unforgiveness is an emotional take over authority from God. It is ascending to God’s throne to make yourself a judge! You are not the one who should dictate  consequences for those who sinned against you. Let go and let God be the judge.
