Leave Judgment to God

THERE is one judge, and that is "God, the Judge of all." He also is the Law-giver. He who judges another, therefore, puts himself in the place of God; he brings God and his law not only down to his own level, but below his level. He virtually says, "God cannot be trusted to judge, but it is necessary for me to pass sentence." A proper sense of our own sinfulness would give us more charity for our brethren and fellow-men, and a little faith in God would lead us to commit all judgment to him.
