Illustration by Shinamide S.

There's a reality chocked with slippery smiles;
Whence love is preached, here, and found after a thousand miles.
Whose citizens sweat to live, both fool and wise;
Its land is abundant in hate and monstrous vie.

Listen!

You say, “Here's a good man at least;
here is a man who gives to the needy.
That's a gentle in heart and a hospitable spirit.”
Tell me, who made you a judge over him?

You say, “Over there is a killer and a thief;
Who had caused many a moment to weep:
A bad egg and needs to be removed.”
Tell me, who made you a judge over him?

Those who waste time criticising others don’t have time to improve themselves.

“Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.” (Romans 14:4, NLT).

If you can’t create it, you are not its judge. Allow the will of God be done and forward is yours.

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.’’ (Luke 6:37, NLT).

Many Blessings.
