1 Thessalonians 4:11(NLT)
11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.
Not leaving well enough alone...killing all sorts of relationships since the dawn of time. If your answer to the question, "Will this matter if I or they left this earth?" is no, it will not matter, then let it be. Who cares how that post was meant to be read, who cares who it is for, who cares how many "More" children this person is gonna have and how many times that girl got sick and how many times the other girl is having a down day...unless you want to help out in a way they would appreciate...move along nothing to see.
"Oh but they put their business on a public social media site. They are asking for judgement!" No, really they are more than likely looking for someone to say, " I get you, I have been there, I'm so sorry it's that way, Praying for you, Want to go to lunch?, Hey I have time, I'm on my way over..." etc
If they are "asking" for judgement, then so is the person judging them.
I have heard and read it before and I saw it on a sign in a woman's office on Friday, love it... "Be the change you want to see." Everyone of us is influencing someone...hope it is in a good way.
God bless!

Matthew 7:1-3(HCSB)
Do Not Judge
7 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?God IS Love, so when I say Love is all that matters, it works on more than one level. Love IS all that matters. Love the people in your life, judge them and they will turn from us, help them and they will run to us. Help doesn't mean enable, some times practical advice is all that is needed with a follow up.I have heard and read it before and I saw it on a sign in a woman's office on Friday, love it... "Be the change you want to see." Everyone of us is influencing someone...hope it is in a good way.
God bless!
