It is easy for you to slip into a mode of judging and criticizing others. Whenever you judge others, you are looking down upon them. In a way you are saying that you are better than the one you are critcizing.
Even when you do not speak your criticisms out loud, I am aware of your judgmental thoughts. The critical thoughts you have need to be given to Me immediately. Take those thoughts captive to Me and allow Me to send you thoughts that edify. If you do not do this, soon a stronghold of pride will be built in your mind that will be difficult to pull down.
I desire for you to esteem others higher than yourself. When you do this, you please Me and I am able to empower you with the gift of exhortation that will replace your critical attitude. Remember always that I am the only just judge, and I know the hearts of people. Quickly release all judgments to Me.
