Yesterday we started a conversation about the difference between judging actions and judging the heart. We talked about when it is appropriate to judge, and I’d like to give you an example to demonstrate this further.
Let’s say you’re starting up a business and an acquaintance wants to partner with you. The trouble is, he’s bankrupted four businesses in the last ten years. He owes several people money, and a few trusted
friends have confided that he took advantage of them in business deals. e When you ask him about it, he takes no responsibility and places the g blame on everyone else.
Now, if you’re not supposed to judge, does that mean you should take him at his word? Should you ignore his track record and trust that he’s e going to treat you differently than he’s treated others? No, trust should always be earned, and we need to be discerning when looking at someone’s behaviour. At the same time, we can’t, assume to know why people do what they do. It would be wrong to call
the man a shady business man or a snake, because now we’re attacking e his character. We also can’t assume that he meant to take advantage or t that he doesn’t care about others, because we don’t know his motives r and intentions. All we know is his track record, and wisdom says not to partner with him unless he earns himself a new track record.
Can you think of an example in your own life where you judged n someone’s heart? With this example in mind, would you now approach
the situation differently?
