Sowing and Reaping

Luke 19:22 - “His master replied, 
‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! .."


Matthew 7:1-3 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?


Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.


Galatians 5:14-15 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.



Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.



Not to love your brother/sister in Christ and to judge them means missing the grace of God. When you judge others you are coming under a curse of condemnation - because, except for the Grace of God, you do the same things - you are just as guilty as them.


So repent of your judging and receive the grace of God. If someone has disappointed you, rest assured that you too have disappointed others. People will always disappoint, only Jesus will not. Renew your active Love for the person, and you will once again experience the Love and Grace in your life!
