After this, I heard the altar shout, “Yes, Lord God All-Powerful, your judgments are honest and fair.” ~ Revelation 16:7 (CEV)
Merciful Lord, you are the only one who can perfectly judge us. I'm sorry that sometimes I think of myself as capable of judging others -- and myself. I need to stop doing that. It is freeing knowing that judging is not my responsibility. It is life-giving knowing that when you judge me you don't look at how I have behaved. Instead, you look at how perfect your Son Jesus lived his earthly life -- and how he sacrificed himself on the cross. You judge me as though I were him. That is amazingly kind. Thank you! Amen.
