You don’t know their story or the things that they have been through

You only see a narrowed vision, created by you

It’s easy to pass judgement, in simply a passing glance

Thinking that your right by some simple chance

Though people are complex, and there’s more than meets the eye

We can’t be completely right, no matter how hard we try

It is always best to just offer kindness, for it’s God who knows them most

It is best to not get caught up in our opinion and then boast

For we know not their struggles or their heart

When we judge them, it just makes us all farther apart

May we just always choose to just be kind

For it in this act, love that we can find

Don’t pass judgement

Matthew 7:1-3 NIV

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
