Shine in the New Year
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.—1 Thessalonians 5:5 (ESV)
Today's daily devotion
Reframe Your Perspective
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.—Romans 2:1 (NIV)
Take this verse to heart and make an effort to stop judging others. If you find yourself thinking unkind thoughts, reframe your perspective from a lens of compassion and understanding. Say a prayer for wisdom and help to stop being so critical of others. Instead, focus on being helpful.
Understanding Father, sometimes I judge those around me. Help me to love them instead, to make them feel accepted and comforted. May I welcome them into my heart.
