Whether we have labelled people positively or negatively, it is all the same. We have judged them. We have decided their value based on some random criteria of our own makings.
"I am beginning to see that I don't have to judge and interpret the motives and behaviors of others. There is no need to decide who are the good guys and who are the bad, who should be blamed and who should be punished. I find it is truly "safe" to surrender the script written by me and trust in God's script." --Gerald Jampolsky
What would happen if we just let this entire system of judgments go? Do we really need it at all? After all, we have no idea what each of these people is ultimately experiencing. We have no idea what lessons they are here for, what learning they are here to gather or what rights they may be attempting to wrong.
Each of these people was created by God. Each one was created exactly in His own image. They are perfect, powerful and creative beings who are choosing to spend some time here on earth. They are all so much more than we can see.
When we judge others, we are choosing to separate and diminish. When we accept others and love them regardless of who they appear to be here on earth, we are allowing the truth of God's existence to permeate our minds. We are knowing that we can only view a very small part of anyone's whole existence from our very limited viewpoint here on earth. We are knowing that we are all God's creations, that we exist together with him, in His mind, and that we are all perfect and safe and free. We are all really only love because God is only love and we are part of Him.
It's not easy to stop a lifelong habit of judgement. I struggle with it every day. But I am trying to let it go. I hope you will think about joining me in this. After all, if we never judge anyone, we will never have to forgive anyone. When we release our minds from judging, the peace of God flows in.
