Christ wey be Judge, by Fra Angelico
Video Listen for English
E easy well-well to judge another person, but e hard well-well to hold yourself make you no judge. Why e be like that? Why you fit dey judge others so easily when you no truly know wetin dey their heart? Plenty reasons fit surely dey for this sin; one of them be say some people no even know themselves well enough to judge their own conscience. When na so e be, the person no dey any position to try judge another person. To judge another person often dey come from heart wey no get enough knowledge, understanding or clear insight about wetin dey inside itself. Dem dey feel this confusion inside themselves, then dem carry am put for other people body. To understand this one dey helpful for two reasons. First, if you dey quick judge others, stop and look inside your heart. E fit well-well be say you no know who you be, wetin your sins be, or how God dey see your soul. Second, if another person judge you, no vex. Instead, use am as chance to get holy sympathy for the person. E fit be say the way the person judge you na sign of the confusion wey dey inside the person. This one suppose make you get compassion for the person, no be to judge the person back (See Diary #1528).
Today, reflect on these two ways wey judgment fit touch your life. First, reflect on whether you dey judge others and why you dey do am. Still take time reflect on how you dey react when others judge you. Look for the truth for these two experiences, and surrender both the judgments wey you dey make and the way others don judge you to God Mercy.
Lord, abeg, free me from heart wey dey quick judge others. Na You, and only You, dey search the mind and heart of all Your children. Help me understand my own soul well, so that I go continue to examine my life for the light of Your Truth, and give me heart of mercy so that I go fit love others with the Mercy of Your Divine Heart. Jesus, na You I trust.
