Several weeks ago, the Lord told me that one way I can grow in joy is to let go of being judgemental. I am realizing that this applies to all situations of being critical of others and myself.
This may sound trivial, but I was driving last night, and someone cut in front of me while we were turning through an intersection, and they didn't even use their turn signal! I was a little frustrated and said something, and I felt the Holy Spirit say that even those little situations of passing judgement are stealing my joy because it established a mindset of being judgemental.
Jesus has paid the penalty for every single, and I have been forgiven of all of mine. So, I choose to walk in the freedom and joy of mercy.
Father, thank you for your mercy and joy. I want to enter into the joy of the master. Please use me to make a return on your investment. Deliver me from being judgemental. Holy Spirit, continue to show me where my heart needs to change. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
