       At the moment we pass judgment on people, we what? Well, we show that we care only about the negative. In other words, the reality is, is that we don’t have to become offended by what others are doing or not doing if we don’t want to. You ever discern that? It’s true. We can actually pass on becoming offended in regard to something. If we pass judgment on someone, we risk the chance of possibly damaging that relationship, or even losing it, over a petty thing. We don’t want to be a Petty Roosevelt. No, on the contrary, if we wish to be truly successful and acting in love toward others, we need to choose not to pass judgment, not to be offended in whatever it is. We need to care more about what God thinks, and let God take control of whether the person is right or wrong. God can take care of that; that’s not our job here. Rather, we become a peacemaker, as Jesus discussed, and thereby administer peace to the weak instead of judgment.
