Less Judgmental

I am challenged by my community to claim a new freedom to love and accept others who may have different understandings of how to live a faithful and spiritual life. Rather than blame, judge, or compare, I can choose to accept, affirm, and celebrate another. Rather than avoiding persons who do not live the way I do or believe what I believe, I can learn to be with them in a personal, compassionate, and creative way. If I am rooted in my own spirit and comfortable in my own body, I will be less judgmental.

“I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” - John 10: 16
