#Judging

"Confidence that one's impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them."

"When you see people only as personalities, rather than souls with life missions to fulfill, you forever limit the growth and possibilities of what God has in store for another person."

"You want to remember that while you're judging the book, the book is also judging you."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey."

"The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth."

"It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love."

"Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding."

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said. The art of reading between the lines is a life long quest of the wise."

"Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and when that happens, you blame the hands, but you also read the book."

"My hope is that I will take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them further into areas with which I am unfamiliar. I simply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage."
