It is really interesting to me how people try to convince others on their opinion of someone. We make a lot of judgments of people purely based on someone else's opinion of them without taking the time to truly get to know them. If we make friends or get along with that new person then the person who told us about them tends to get upset or feel betrayed. Why is this?
INSECURITY!
I think that we when we meet someone new and don't know any of the things that they have done wrong in the past towards others we are almost able to see people as God sees them. He looks at the heart of that person and who they are striving to be now, without holding their past mistakes against them (even though He can see them clearly).
We must also be willing to look past people's shortcomings and the way they have hurt us and give them second, third, fourth, and so on chances. We must show each other the kindness/grace that God shows to us!
Usually we judge like this because we are insecure about ourselves!
