Jesus… A Beautiful Friend

“The justice of God is this, that . . . he gives every man, woman, child, and beast, everything that has being, fair play; he renders to every man according to his work; and therein lies his perfect mercy.” George MacDonald

We all judge (and mostly misjudge) others. It would be OK to do this if our our judgments were just and if the purpose and end result of them was the restoration or aid of others. In other words, if we were completely just people. But the reality is, our own personal experiences, emotions, and “filters” (Jesus called them “planks in {our} eyes”) blind us to proper judgment. Rarely do we see things as they really are . . . I love the above quote because it is comforting to know that God sees ALL of us. He knows every thought, every heart cry . . . he knows us inside AND out. This is why today I will sing with joy a song that will soon be released… Beautiful Friend… over and over in my life he has proven himself to be exactly that.

“A just man is one who cares, and tries, and always tries, to give fair play to everyone in every thing.” George MacDonald

Lord, make us “just” people so we can judge each other rightly and help one another in our quest to become more like you.
