We Are Called to Love, Not Judge

We are called to LOVE, not JUDGE.

Period.

Whenever we find ourselves getting frustrated with someone, it’s a clear sign that we’ve momentarily stepped OUT OF THE LOVE ZONE and into the JUDGMENT ZONE.

And the reason it feels so irksome is because it was never how we were created to exist.

God IS LOVE.

Now that His embodiment of LOVE lives WITHIN us, the frustration only arises when we begin to try to put on our old clothes of our old selves. Our false self.

It grates against who we NOW are.

But rather than side-step back into the clothes of humility, literally YIELDING to GOD and His LOVE WAY, we try to use the behavior of others to justify our refusal to embrace and represent our NEW, TRUE SELF.

We do get there eventually, but not without much aggravation and wasted time.

The key is to get back into the LOVE ZONE as quickly as possible.

Because it not only feels better to YOU, but it allows you to love your neighbor AND yourself well.

And staying cloaked in HIS LOVE for yourself and others is really the “secret sauce” of life!

It’s how Jesus operated on the earth and how we can operate, too.

So, what about starting by judging YOURSELF less?

Obviously, we know the Word instructs us to check up on our hearts and judge ourselves lest we be judged. But I’m talking about not judging yourself harshly unnecessarily.

Because I’ve found that whenever I am tempted to judge others I usually find that I am judging MYSELF wrongly, and that doesn’t feel good, so our brain likes to find someone else out there also “doing it wrong” because misery loves company, right?

But you know what else I’ve discovered?

When I focus on loving MYSELF well and reminding myself of the grace God has afforded to ME, I begin to shift into more LOVE, COMPASSION, and GRACE for OTHERS!!!

Seriously, I dare you to try it 🙂

Because trust me, all around, LOVING feels SO MUCH BETTER than JUDGING!

I am a “Recovering Judgmentalist” (just made that word up 😉 ) and if you’re ready to take a deep dive into also becoming someone who OOZES LOVE, reach out today, and let’s get working on YOU! Because that’s enough work in itself without worrying about how everyone else is doing everything wrong 😉 ~Be Blessed, Jenny xoxo
