Reserving Judgement

Yesterday, a student came in with a paper about social media, judgement, and discrimination. His main argument is that people are too judgemental of each other, and I agree. People often judge other people harshly, even to the point of exhibiting rude and unfair treatment, when it's really not our job to see to it that people get what (we think) they deserve. God doesn't want us to judge each other, at least, not in that sense. God has reserved the right to pass judgement, and I say let Him have it! Without His eternal perspective and His accurate view of people's hearts, it can be difficult, if not impossible, for us to judge each other fairly, which is why, with few exceptions, we probably shouldn't try to judge each other at all. Judgement is God's job, and we should leave it to Him.
