Guilty!!!

In the United States, our law states that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty. Sounds fair, right? It is fair until emotions get involved.

Former President Donald Trump was accused of being in bed (figuratively) with Russia. All the people who hate Trump believed it because their hatred blinded them. When “Russia-gate” was shown to be a hoax, some still refused to believe the truth about it. The truth still matters.

There are thousands of examples where we condemn people before they have their day in court. Think of how you would want to be treated if you were on the receiving end of false accusations. Let’s show others some grace.

After all, the truth still matters…

Known

Do you have someone in your life who knows you, someone who really knows who you are? If you do, treasure them. Someone who knows you and accepts you as you are and where you are without judgment is a rare find.

All of us have a deep desire to be seen, to be heard and to be known. Yet we can create facades to keep others from getting too close. We insulate ourselves to protect ourselves.

By releasing judgment from our minds frees us to see people clearly. Let go of needing to feel protected from the world. Be yourself, your best self. The world is judging anyway. ..

Acceptance

Judging others drains you of valuable energy. Accepting people as they are opens the door to new ways of seeing life around us. Our minds are open to new possibilities, new creativity.

If people are jerks, keep them out of your circle of friends and acquaintances. You can’t change their hearts. Only God can do that. By limiting their access to your life, you are protecting yourself while still accepting them as they are. Something to consider…

Judge and Jury…

Every day, people spend unnecessary time and energy judging others. We want people to be more like us, to live their lives as we do. Yet, we are not the ones with authority. Let’s leave the judgment to God, and spend our time encouraging others, leading them in the light…
