The God is trying to deal with one of my most apparent character flaws. I am extremely judgemental. I hate it. It drives me crazy. I notice it more and more everyday. It reveals how broken, damaged and foolish I am. Last night I had a long talk with Megan about how it needs to be destroyed. I like that word destroyed. Its a good way of describing how God wants to eliminate your character flaws. Anyway, I work at a place were there is this bubble of wealthy people who think they don't need anything, and deserve everything, and that really brings out my judgemental attitude. But this is a place in which if I am willing God can really do some awesome things for my character and teach me how to love these people as he does. Judgement is not my job. A critical spirit is not healthy. It fuels negativity and puts off a very "I am better than you" attitude. Followers of Christ have been known for this for far too long and Jesus was never known for this. Its time for a change. Judgement coming from me is not right, its not loving and its not the way Jesus wants me to be. This process of destroying my judgemental attitude is going to be very painful, difficult and ugly. It will expose me for a lot of who I can be. But in the end it will be so freeing and rewarding as the God will renew my mind and heart and make it more like his. The pain starts today.
