We Shouldn't Judge Others

There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close lookat herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfairlife is, or at who made you do it. She has to just look at herself.Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life? Orhave you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you makethis mistake, take a closer look. A woman who has endured the mostunusual life is someone of wisdom, someone who has been chosen by God to gothrough things that have made her stronger.Think of all the great women in the Bible: Mary Magdalene, Ruth and Naomi,the woman with an issue of blood, and Esther, to name a few. Mary was aprostitute, a very uneasy woman. But by the time Jesus was done with her,she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunate in marrying anabusive man, but by the time God was done with her, she had married one ofthe wealthiest men in the land!Women are so quick to beat the next one down instead of trying to hold herup. Before you wonder, 'What's up with her?' ask yourself, 'What's upwith me?' That woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law,stepmother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend, orco-worker, etc. That woman could be ME.Women are the carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build andencourage each other, as did Ruth and Naomi. Pass this to all the women inyour life.Encourage and love, forgive and forget, and trust that the woman thatreceives this will be touched in some way.
