Are you observing, or are you judging?

Observe, before you judge. In the end, it is always preferable to take a position on God's side than than to pass judgement on another person. All Christians ought to make an effort to cultivate this wonderful spiritual discipline on a regular basis. Having said that, it is not always a simple task. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be drawn in by the temptation to pass judgement, and in doing so, we turn our hearts away from God.

A straightforward yet effective strategy that widens the scope of options is to first observe something before passing judgement on it. When we pass judgement, we do it based on our own preconceived assumptions, which are not necessarily accurate. Curiosity about other people enables us to put more distance between our observations and the conclusions we draw about them.

We frequently form snap opinions about someone based on superficial factors such as their money, occupation, or level of renown. Even trivial choices like deciding what to dress might cause us to form snap judgements about other people before we have all the facts.

When we pay attention to the behaviours of those around us, we are able to pick up new skills and improve our own capacity for learning. Learning from other people and watching how other people behave helps us broaden our perspectives and broaden our horizons. When we make an effort to comprehend the perspectives and ideals held by others, we can establish more meaningful connections with them. It's perhaps possible that we'll find fresh approaches to loving one another.
