Judgement is so insidious. It lurks in my thoughts, lashes out in my words and sometimes directs my actions without much, if any planning. In this life, judgement is free to give, but costly to receive.

 Grace is just the opposite of judgement. It is free to receive but often costly, requiring much of myself, to give away. Things are not usually worth much if there isn’t a struggle in giving them away. It is always in giving that I find I am actually receiving. Today and everyday, may my thoughts, words and actions be filtered through blood stained glasses so that I may abide more in grace and less in judgement.
