Letting Go of Judgment

by Rev. Sharyn Zenz

One morning while talking to my sister on the telephone, I felt like she was making some judgments as she spoke. Then after thinking about it I really came to realize that anytime I think someone is judging, it is me who is judging them! It would be impossible for me to see them as judging, unless I was making a judgment that they were judging.

As I drove to work the next morning I was listening to Byron Katie’s tapes and it was talking about judging also. I really paid attention, as this subject keeps coming up for me to look at. One of the things she said was, “I am who I think you are in the moment I’m thinking it!” To me that meant that every thought I have of anyone else is really only a reflection of who I really think I am!

Wow, how important it is to observe my thoughts and don’t say a word before thinking about it first. I need to monitor my thoughts to make sure that when I make a statement to someone, it is coming from Love and not the ego mind. That is called self -love. And when we really love ourselves it is easy to love others.

Another thing I heard on the CD was, “The only obstacles between you and me are the thoughts I am thinking about you.” It reminded me that my intention is to remove the blocks to love, as A Course In Miracles says, not to build the obstacles! Anytime I reflect to others any thoughts that are not from love, I am building obstacles instead of breaking them down.

After going to Spirit with this, this is what I heard: The only judge you will ever need in all of eternity is Me. What others say has absolutely nothing to do with you. It’s actually none of your business. The way you feel is always a choice that you have made.

With Me at your side you can always be assured that everything is in perfect order. When you think others are judging you, remember they are pointing one finger at you and three back at themselves. The same goes for you. The only judgment you ever need to make is whether or not it is in your best interest to ask Me. And of course the answer is always “yes” to that one.

You choose happiness instead of sadness when you follow Me. You will feel the freedom that comes within yourself when you trust in Me to make all your decisions. NEVER leave any decision to chance! Willingly lay all judgment aside. If you feel others are judging you, do not judge them, just send them love.  That is their way of asking for love even though they don’t even realize it.

Remember what your brother Jesus said “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” They don’t even realize that they are judging. Just extend the Love that you are to them. That is how you remove the blocks to love’s presence and that is your only job.
