Don'T Have the Right To

Don't judge another person
The guy you think is a jerk may not be a jerk after all 
Why are we so quick to judge other people?
Either by their looks or their nationalities
Their race and what they look like
Do we know what they are inside at all?
They have the same blood, same human DNA genome from which each of us comes from
Why do we say they are not the same 
And refer as such?
Well my friend, say if you are in a battlefield and need someone to rescue you
Would you say "let me see - he is not of the color I want - so I think I will wait"
Or would you say "come take me"?
Funny how we judge someone and can't even judge ourselves
I know I can't
We make the same mistakes time after time
And time after time God forgave us
Maybe that person makes the same mistake too
And act goofy
Whatever it is 
Just know that you can't judge
You may have caught them on a bad day
When their hair is not straight
And they look disheveled, unkempt
Or they may have a run-in with someone 
And they are angry and act disorderly
Who are we to know what goes on in each one's life?
Each person - a unique situation
Just as a unique you
Relenting not rescinding
Presenting not resenting
Be friending not be blaming
Be planting not be canting
Overlooking not complaining
We need to leave the judging for GOD

- A wonderful poem my friend Toquyen !!! (7 +++ ) - No human has the right to judge others !!!! - No one has the right to blame or condemn another, because no one can truly know another human being - Any form of racism is a sin against God and man - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
