Judging

So a friend (Rosella) sent me the Gospel reading for today and the last line really struck me. (John 5:30) Jesus said: "By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." This really grabbed me. So often when we "judge" things we do so out of personal desire and ambition. This always hurts people, because its source is selfish by nature. But Godly judgement come from listening to the Father and seeking his heart and perspective, not for our purposes and what WE want to see come about, but for his Kingdom to come.
