Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:3-5

Someone asked me the other day why Christians were so judgemental, so I took it upon myself to do some investigation and what I believe is that most of the time they are not, I believe that they are commanded to spread Gods word and by doing so people view them as judgemental, so the next time you feel someone of Christian faith is judging you or your lifestyle take this into consideration. However the verse I cited above should be taken into consideration by those who "do" choose to judge others. No one person or family is perfect, we are "all" sinners. We should teach our children acceptance and love not judgement and exclusion. We all are working on our imperfections on a daily basis, and if people could work on being more compassionate instead of judgemental I believe we could change the world and then perhaps there would be no need for sheltering our kids.  But remember for those true "Christians" are not judging you , they are trying to share the Lords word with you!  By true Christians I mean those that have truely accepted him, there are alot of people out there that attend service every Sunday or attend every Bible study or every Church function there is, and they still choose to lead different lives behind closed doors, whether they act immorally at home or work or whatever. -I myself have ALOT of work to do!- and I think that if you ask most people and if they are speaking honestly they will say the same!  I think we are all guilty of being judgemental at one time or another so my challenge to you and to myself is to think twice before saying or telling someone there way of doing things is wrong , whatever it may be!
Every night I have a routine of prayer and mostly I pray about the same things everynight, tonight I will pray for those who do not accept others and others way of life!  I will pray for a closer relationship with God and I will pray that the Lord will touch each and everyone of you in your journey through life.
