When We Are Judged Before We Speak

Send us Fan MailWhen We Are Judged Before We SpeakSometimes people dismiss usbefore they really hear us.Not because we have nothing to say.But because of where we’re from,what we look like,how much money we have,or the assumptions they’ve already made about us.“But others sneered and said,‘They are filled with new wine.’”— from Acts 2:13These disciples were mocked and dismissednot because they were unclear,and not because their message lacked validity.They were dismissedbecause they came from a placemany people looked down on.But instead of becoming angry,bitter,or consumed with proving themselves,they continued using the giftsthe Spirit had given them.And they continued sharingthe hope they had received.God’s love is for everyone.And the Spirit’s poweris not reservedfor the wealthy,respected,educated,or well connected.It is given freely.So when we are dismissed,misjudged,or looked down upon,may we not lose ourselvesto bitterness or resentment.Instead,may the Spirit within and among uskeep us centered in hopeand moving in love.I’m Horace McMillon.This is 60 Seconds of Hope.Peace be with you.#60SecondsOfHope #DailyReflection #SpiritualEncouragement #Encouragement #HopeForToday #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #DailyDevotion #Discipleship #inspirationSupport the show
