It’s a “Don’t Judge Too Hard” Day.
An unknown author wrote these words I share with you today:
Pray for and don’t find fault with a man who limps
Unless you have worn the shoes, he wears
Or struggles beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
Or the burden he bears, placed on your back,
Might cause you to stumble, too.
Don’t sneer at the man, who is down today,
That caused his fall, or felt the shame
You may be strong, but still the blows
That were his, if dealt to you
In the self-same way at the self-same time,
Might cause you to stagger, too.
Don’t be too harsh with a man who sins,
Or pelt him with words or stones,
Unless you are sure, yes, doubly sure,
That you have no sins of your own.
For you know, perhaps, if the tempter’s voice
As it did to him when he went astray
“Would cause you to fall, too.”
So who are you qualified to judge? God says no one! Now, who do you say?
