Judging Men with Compassion

Men’s actions are very difficult to judge. Nobody can judge them but God, and we can hardly obtain a higher or more reverent view of God than that which represents him to us as judging men with perfect knowledge, unperplexed certainty, and undisturbed compassion. Our habit of judgment is so nearly incurable, and its cure is such an interminable process, that we must concentrate ourselves for a long while upon keeping it in check, and this check is to be found in kind interpretations. Sight is a great blessing, but there are times and places in which it is far more blessed not to see.— F. W. Faber.
