PROTECTION FROM JUDGEMENT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever been judged by people around you?
Is what they are accusing you valid and true?
Do not be condemned by what others think or say
There’s no condemnation for those who follow his way.
God sent his son into the world to save but not to judge
Believers are protected from judgment and all kinds of grudge
Continue to grow your faith and believe in Jesus Christ
You will be guaranteed a shield of protection in this life.

Because of our fallen nature as humans, it is easy for us to judge others. We are quick to find fault when we see someone unable to live up to our standards or expectations. But the bible says that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. We are all sinners and before we can point our fingers on someone, we should first take the log of our own eye (Matthew 7:5).
The bible says that God sent his Son into the world not to judge it but save it through him. There is no judgement against anyone who believes in him. God convicts us of sin but never condemns us.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for convicting me when I am wrong, so I don’t stray.
REFLECTION
Why is the act of judging something we should just leave to God alone?
