Compassionate Judgment...
"Decide by an act of will that you are not going to be a judgmental person. The bible says quite clearly, "Judge not..."
(Mathew 7:1), and the reason behind this prohibition is plain: We never have all the information that would enable us to make an absolute just judgment. There are always some things hidden from us, things known only to God. So it is better to leave the judgment to him. If punishment is necessary, let him take care of it. "Vengeance is mine: I will repay, said the Lord." In any case, none of us is so perfect that we can afford to be harsh and totally unforgiving of people whose actions hurt or displease us.
He also said that if you have a quarrel with someone, it is useless to bring a gift to God's alter and ask for blessings until you first go and seek reconciliation with that person.
Anger, resentment, and hatred set up barriers that deprive a person from spiritual power.
Forgiveness is an antidote for poisons that can corrupt the body and damage the soul."
Norman Vincent Peale
