The last several months I have been really annoyed with a girl I know. Some of my friends and I would end up talking about how she is "one of those girls" who was constantly seeking attention from guys and not living up to how Christ wants us to live. I would watch in disgust as she would come on to our guy friends. In my mind, I was better than her. I was judging her.
But (and there's always a "but" in human judgment)I recently found out more about her. All of her extended family are not Christians. Her dad's side is going through a death in the family. I started to cry when I heard this. She asked for heart-felt prayers on the behalf of her whole family.
There's always more to story. I judged her before walking a mile in her shoes. I deeply regret my hurtful thoughts and gossip towards her.
Everyone has a story. There is a reason behind what a person does. I hope that we begin to have "grace-filled" eyes as we evaluate one another.
