What do you think about being judged??

[Guest zoe-girl]

I for one, am one whom for alot of my life have been misunderstood- too skinny, too nice, my pile of stones etc .And am so very tired of being judged when others have' their own planks of wood in their eyes' and also their ' own pile of stones too'.

How does being judged affect you or not affect you- .

[Guest Biblicist]

I welcome judgement. I'm not always gracious about it, but even if it comes harshly, I know it comes from the LORD. I'd rather have chastisement than living a life that is not pleasing to the LORD.

I've never had to be judged though, I don't do anything wrong.

With a heavy heart, but I try to keep in mind Romans 8:28 ... "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

At least people are talking to you ... try being ignored or treated as if you are not there ... This is a tough lesson that I battle with at times.

if i'm being judged righteously, it doesn't bother me. if i'm being judged SELF-righteously, it irks the you-know-what out of me.

ditto. I used to live with a man I wasn't married to. A lady kindly took me aside and told me that it was wrong. She pointed out to scripture to me. She prayed first, and her heart intent was right.

Well the Lord taught you not to judge; and have forgivness in your heart for those whom do.

One bit of advice, OneLight. No one can ignore you if you're loud, opinionated and unabashedly a child of God! But, if that's too radical for you, you will not be ignored here; no matter what.

I don't accept judgement other than from the ultimate judge; the Lord himself. Nor should you, Zoe-Girl; throw off the judgement of people who should be working on themselves. They are not your Creator.

if its god pulling me up bring it on but if its some one on a power trip or some one playing church i lead them to this scripture passage

1 corinthians 4

3 but with me it is a very small thing that i should be judged by you or by a human court in fact i do not even judge my self

4 for i know of nothing against my self yet i am not justified by this but he who judges me is the lord

5 therefore judge nothing before the time until the lord comes who wil both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts then each ones praise wil come from god

i have some good strong men around me and i trust these men who god has put in my path they know me they have seen me grow and they have seen me when i am down and out in the dumps but when i come to them for advice or if god has something to say to me i know these dear brothers wil pull me up with the utter respect were i am not being torn down or looked down on

al due to some one who thinks they hear from god when i run into some one like this and all i am getting is a bad vibe i wil deal with this person my way and everytime i have done this the lord has come threw

this was the first verse i was led to and i have this verse high lighted

yes i use to think what people thought of me but as i drew close to god and began to alow him to have ful reign in my life it does not worry me as it would when i was a young christian heck i do not even care what others think when it comes to the tattoos that are on me and the clothes i were

i also love what paul says hear in this very verse

Colossians 4

16 so let no one judge you in food or in drink or regarding a festival or a new moon sabath

17 which are a shadow of the things to come but the substance is of christ

18 let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worship of angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed up by fleshly minds

19 and not holding fast to the head from whom the body nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increase that is from god

20 therefore if you died with christ from the basic principals of the world why as though living in the world do you subject yourselves to regulations

21 these things indeed have an apperance of wisdom in self imposed religon false humility and neglect of the body but are of no indulgence of the flesh

this is just the way i am god has done some amazing things in my life and this is were my stregth comes from and who i am today even though sometimes i can be seen as a cold hearted person but i have had to fight to get to were i am in my walk i have had to put up with some harsh ful insults and it puzzles me to how some who call them selves christians can be have like this and feel they can sit in on judgment on the very ones god draws to him self

with out looking at gods word for them selves by the grace of god i am able to love by the grace of god i am able to forgive and by the grace of god i am able to hear some one out if i was not a christian i would not put up with what i have had to put up with but such is life we live in a harsh world and twisters always come our way but god gives me the hands up when ever i depend on him and not my flesh and my old ways

god bless from damo
