Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover

My mother always told me that you never know

what is going on in other people's lives

and to give people the benefit of the doubt.

After being in customer service for so long,

I have come to realize that you cannot assume anything

about anybody.

Everyone is at different stages in their lives

and going through a variety of situations.

Not judging people is hard sometimes.

I admit I am not perfect

and I am as guilty as the next person when it comes

to assuming things about a person.

Here in the South we are used to seeing a person judged by the color of their skin.

It is sad to me to see that there is still discrimination in the United States.

I do believe however that this judgement goes in every direction

and affects every race and gender.

There is neither Jew nor Greek,

there is neither slave nor free,

there is no male and female,

for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:28

Today's lesson:

Love your neighbor as yourself

and

don't judge a person til you walk a mile in their shoes.

*I know this sounds cheesy and way too generic,

but it's true and familiar!

So remember the next time you want to presume

something about anyone,

think twice because they may be judging you as well!
