"Never Judge"


As imperfect saints all you'll hear about is  Tevin, who stopped at 7/11 smelling like a drunken peasant but that isn't even relevant.

Or you'll here about Lisa who gets pregnant by Lemont just to trap him because she thinks he's all that she's got.

No maybe they'll talk about Tank, you know the one that the ladies love ,the one that is now changed and sends praises out loud to the God above.

Maybe they'll talk about everything beneath the rising sun but they won't come close to telling you about the wrong that they have done .

The deacon that shames the publicly drunken man but gets drunk in the comfort his own home.

The Choir member who sings at the top of their lungs because the night before they where in another husband or wife's home.

We've become so content with giving out News that isn't about ourselves.

what would happen if your story was the one that everyone else had to tell?

Some of you just tensed up and trust me it's okay but just know your tongue is a powerful weapon and you must watch what you say.

To condemn them you are truly only condemning yourself.

That is why you won't have good health or good wealth wondering why these are the cards that you have been dealt.
When we step on others toes we feel as if we are made of gold .

it's pitiful all the insecurities that we hold.

proclaiming that we are bold but we are really lost souls.

I hope I haven't lost you because I need you to understand

that we can not judge another imperfect man if we are an imperfect man.

That's why god said he will be the judge... because he is the only one that reserves the right.

So I dare some of you hiding Christians to come into the light.

Don't be scared now, you don't need anyone to help you do it .

Just like you didn't need help with all that blasphemy you were spewing.

So let's take a step back and think about ourselves.

Think about all of the lies that we tell

and the people that we have condemned to hell.

Now you see that you can not relate to them because you do not know their entire situation.

He say she say has never had a good reputation.

So pause and take time for meditation because we are in the times of revelations.

So please, Don't let Satan guide your tongue.

Just keep your mouth closed until you receive a sign from God's only begotten son. The next time you open your mouth let it pour out positivity.

Don't be poisoned by judgement and circumstantial negativity.

Because we never truly know when I'll need you and you'll need me.
