       A lot of times we are just going to have to look the other way. We are going to have to bite our tongue and move on, letting that difference of opinion go. We are going to have to bite our tongue and move on, letting that difference of opinion go. The higher we are on our own consciousness level, the higher we’ve moved up in our own, personal character development, the easier this will be. Notice James tells us that if we do decide to grumble against one another that we could in fact find ourselves being judged. Not by others, though, that may happen too. But the idea here is that we may be judged by God himself, by Jesus. We are judged because, remember, he said, “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6:37, ESV). Or, a little bit later in the same passage, he said, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye?” (Luke 6:41-42a, ESV).
