Judging

Jesus was telling us to not be quick in judging and criticizing others. If we are constantly belittling and disapproving of others, we will only receive the same measure in return. Do we try to put ourselves in their place and ask why they are different? Jesus said we should be generous with forgiveness and grace toward all people. He said the more we give to others, greater will be the measure that will be given back to us.

Luke 6

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You can be critical of others to help them correct their deficiencies and also to avoid same failures in ones own life.
