I want to invite you into a conversation around exploring ideas with me.

The Destructive Nature Of Judgment

This is a very powerful video on people’s experiences of being judged, specifically within the church space.  I have felt some of these statements myself and have seen them in other people’s lives.  Not trying to be funny but I really loved the story of the guy who stole the Jesus statue for his grandmother.  Its sad that a little boy did something for such good reasons but it became one of the defining negative events of his lives.

Judgment is so destructive.  When we exclude someone from love, when we see someone as outside of the possibility of being loved, it ruins people.  I would suggest the people who are doing the judging are the one’s suffering more because they are likely unaware of what they are doing.  But in the end I think everyone falls into that category to an extent.

Love wins out in the end.

    Its sad to me that this is likely many people's experience. I know I have felt that judgment but I had parents that helped me transcend it.
