I think sometimes people judge others to make them feel they are
doing well despite their own failings. As people we tend to have
some manner of piety, pride and guilt..I think if we see a christian
in trouble or sin, we shoudl sympathise with them, knowing how easily
we can be lead down the wrong path by the world and the flesh. I
rely on the awesome grace of God everyday, because everyday I fail at
something as i grow. we should all bear each others sin, in love
