Judgement

Every day My Lord Jesus we go through different situations. The influence of these situations influence our emotions and the judgement of the persons & circumstances involved, they can be sometimes positive, some other times negative. Negative influence lead us to fear, hatred, anger, revenge, jealousy. It crowds our mind and blind our eyes making us do wrong things, obstructing us from dealing with the situation and persons the right way.

Jesus, You taught us to be non - judgemental in our attitude. But I understand that it is not humanly possible always. Help us My Lord not to be carried away by situations and persons. Help us Jesus from emotions choking us and defeating us in understanding the persons and the situations.

In the work I do there are certain projects which are not only very lucrative but prestigious to be associated with. These are projects offered by certain specialised companies and they invite applications every year to train the ones they hire. Since I was relatively new to the industry I did not know about this and the colleagues who knew never shared the information. The opportunity stayed with a select few. This year, I came across the information and applied. Unfortunately, the company official who was very encouraging over the phone misplaced my application and proceeded to publish the list of the selected, naturally my name was not there. I was disappointed, not because I was not selected but because I didn't made the grade inspite of my hard work to be among the best.

An elderly colleague who came to know about my plight called up the official and enquired about the status of my application to which she  sheepishly admitted that she has misplaced my application and asked me to resend it.

Ofcourse the elderly colleague was a God sent Angel, but my judgement of the situation and the persons influenced were so negative that it blinded me completely to see things right and react well for a some time.

Jesus, My Lord, for ordinary people like me, to survive we need a good mind to work our way through the day, I Pray and ask in your name Jesus,  let me not judge and fill my heart with wrong thoughts. 

Thank you.
