Quotes about Judgmental

When people see us, do they see the compassion of their Creator? If so, I guarantee when the enemy sees us he shakes with fear.

Yes, she is one of the superstars of God's grand story, and the one you want near you in the battles of life.

Self-righteousness is your own personal defense attorney.

Examine your heart, your inner attitudes, and your thoughts to see if there is anything there that God would not approve of. Do you have bitterness or resentment?
