It's good to come back after an awesome week and know God has more in store for you. Last week I felt I was walking a thin line between slandering a brother and guarding hearts. I'm still not sure what side of that line I came down on, however if I'm unsure it means I have more learning and growing to do.
It is not my responsibility or duty to judge another, that is entirely God's providence. It is one thing to rebuke a brother, to help correct an action, but it is an entirely other thing to pass judgement. I have passed judgement many times in the past, and as I sit here I find more and more moments springing to mind. The Lord had already forgiven me, some of these people I need to seek out and ask forgiveness for, but all of them I need to let go of and just remind myself not to do so in the future.
Praise our forgiving and loving God!

I appreciate this, I know what you are saying, and I definitely see you growing in this area. There can be a fine line there, and I think you correctly draw the conclusion being that God has to draw the line, or guide you to the line, etc.
nice object lesson for leading our study on judging, huh Waldo :) Great post--great to see how you work through a tough spot by keeping the focus on God!
