You’ve done it. We’ve all done it; this weekend I did it.
We’ve sat and watched people go by.
Sitting on a bench at Silver Dollar City I observed all manner, shape and size of people. As I sat there making observations, which is merely a euphemism for making a judgment, snap decisions about their life, their choice of clothing and their financial status resounded in my head. Being transparent has always been part of my blog, so I’d have to admit I was pleased to be wearing sunglasses so I could surreptitiously stare at people.
For nearly an hour, I sat on the bench making ‘observations’. As I got up to go the Holy Spirit spoke to me saying, “When you sit there, you are making judgments, but when you get off the bench other people are now making judgments about you.”
Ouch!
I don’t have a scripture to offer, nor an uplifting thought except to remind us that God looks on the heart, He knows our every thought.
It would seem that God is dealing with me regarding judgments, as this is the second time I’ve written about it, see To Judge or Not To Judge.
Growing in Grace and Glory,
Kim Angela
Side Note: Honestly, I would have to say that I am more of a people listener than a people watcher. I enjoying watching people but I’d rather listen to the table next to me at a restaurant. If we ever run in to each other at a restaurant, don’t sit at the table next to me.
