When Pope Francis said, "Who am I to judge?" it hit me really hard. If the Pope cannot judge, what right do we have to judge? We are not God, we do not clearly see the whole picture. It really takes the pressure off.
We may have an opinion based on what little we know or what little we hear/see, but we are not in a position to judge anyone. I love it.
It might be months or even years from now that you understand the benefit of things happening the way they did.
Challenge for today:
When you find yourself tempted to play God and judge someone, remind yourself "I do not see this situation clearly. I do not know what is happening behind the scenes."
