The importance of why you should not judge! Jesus' statement reminds us that we reap what we sow and how much we sow. If we judge others, we will ourselves be judged.

If we forgive, we shall be forgiven, but if we condemn, we shall be condemned. Jesus was not talking about eternal judgment but about how we are treated in this life.

"That's Jesus' Way of Telling me He loves me." Do you remember when one of the Church Mothers' calls to service was done in song? There was no music, just that sweet voice would fill the entire sanctuary, and everyone would start filling in the seats as they knew it was prayer time.

Let's sit back and take a trip down memory lane.

Blessings and enjoy!

Distractions can be your family members, like my family who continually interrupt me to look at old photos as I write the description for today's devotional. "Ma, look at this one..." LOL

Distractions can cause you to lose focus on the most important things in your life; family, and work. They can also be caused by a loss of interest in the primary activity, an inability to pay attention, or the intensity of the distraction itself.

However, the worst distractions are the ones (if allowed) that take a person's attention away from God.

Our prayer should be, LORD please deliver me from distractions from the importance of serving You!

Blessings,

Presiding Elder Barbara Hayes
