Today's devotional is an uplifting one in that it reminds us that it is not our job to judge ourselves - or others. I often need that reminder in both areas in that I do compare myself to others and wonder why I can't have some of their talents. I also have to admit that it has been a great effort in the past few years to quit wasting my physical, mental and spiritual energies on judging others. It's something I am still working on - with the help of God's Grace and Presence!
I came from a family that gave me mostly negative reinforcement no matter how hard I tried to do things well - and right. I'm sure that I am still searching for some positive affirmation from other people in my life, even though I realize that God sees me "radiant in My (God's) robe of righteousness." I praise God for His most amazing love and grace and ask that He will help me see others through His eyes.
