Matthew 7

"Judge not, that you not be judged." such simple words yet really hard to follow. This is some of the best advice Jesus gives us but how many of us follow this. It is really easy to judge others or put the blame on someone else. Much harder to look at ourselves with the same critical eye. I know that I try hard to see the best in people and believe that everyone has good intentions. I also know that I judge people too quickly sometimes and jump to conclusions. This is a bad habit I am working on.

It is comforting to hear Jesus say "ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find." I do believe this to be true. It may not always be what we think we need but is what God knows we need. We just need to learn to accept what God gives us.
