It Is in the Past

— Personal Reflection

Dear Father,

Only you know every imagination and thought of my mind and heart. Only You know how pre-judging people comes easier to me than believing the best about others. I do not like that trait in me to judge others based on their past or present.

Help me to see others like you saw me. Help me to treat others as you treated me. You took me as I was. You knew my past, present, and problems. Yet, You loved me where I was and when I was nothing. 

Help me to love as You love, care as You care, and lift others as You lifted me.

Amen.
