We live in a time where everything we do is judged. We are judged by our skin tone, judged by the way we talk, judged by the way that we act. It even comes down to us being judged by the type of picture, video or status we post on various social media sites. If we are not careful the enemy will try to distract us with the judgment from others. The enemy will try to get us to believe the judgments and the things others are saying about us to get us to forget what God says about us. God says that we are beautiful, strong, loved, powerful, and the list goes on and on. Everyday we must remind ourselves who we are and whose we are, remind ourselves that I am not what the enemy says about me, remind ourselves that God's love and mercy for us will always trump the judgment of others. The enemy will try to bring you down, try to deflate your self-esteem, will judge everything about you to try to defeat you. But continue to do you, live the life God has called you to live, and do not stoop to the enemy's level to pass judgment on them. Know that God will elevate you in front of the enemy as His mercy triumph their judgment.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
~James 2:12-13
