Be a Public Defender ... not a Prosecutor

It was a hard moment - followed by a great healing light - when the Lord made me face up to my judgmental attitude, the one that was blocking any effective ministry by me among those I thought to be wrong in their ways.
"You're not forgiving," He stated flatly.  "You're a public prosecutor, judging everybody in sight.  But I want you to be a public defender - not a public prosecutor."
