Suspend Judging Others

February 20, 2015 by

Spiritual writer Henri Nouwen guides us: “In a world that constantly asks us to make up our minds about other people, a nonjudgmental presence seems nearly impossible…but it is one of the most beautiful spiritual fruits of deep spiritual life and will be easily recognized by those who long for reconciliation.”

Moreover, such a stance allows us to seek reconciliation with others, rather than keep them at bay and isolated, lost, drifting.  When we take the energy and effort of judgment and transform it into authentic love, there we will witness true charity to toward ‘the other’ as ‘another’.

Imagine what your life would be like if you awoke tomorrow morning and found that there was no water coming into your home. What would you do? Probably you'd get a few gallons of bottled water, and feel a bit grungy and inconvenienced until the water came back on. Other than that, things would really be OK. But what if the water never came back on? And what if the stores ran out of bottled water? What if the nearest drainage ditch became the only place we could get any water at all? … Help The Thirsty
