"Do not judge me"
"Only God can judge me"
I often hear these quotes when someone is being called out on their behavior. Almost as if it is second nature to them to say this. Like it is a shield from facing their reality. They know they are doing wrong, but they are not ready to stop.
It pushed me to look a little deeper. Those quotes are used to silence people. Judgment and correction are not one in the same.
*judging
* correction
If I see you walking a dangerous path, I will correct your steps. I will not sit back and watch you walk off of a cliff because you enjoy the view. I will tell you that you are walking the wrong way.
This applies to life in general. If your lifestyle is leading you off of a cliff, I will tell you. It is not judging, but love and correction.. I want the best for you and I pray you will do the same for me.

John 7:24 KJV
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
