In today's First Reading from 1 Corinthians, Paul writes, "It does not concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal; I do not even pass judgment on myself... the one who judges me is the Lord." This is the perfect attitude: We should not judge anyone, ourselves included. This way, we focus completely on serving and honoring the Lord. Paul continues, "Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hearts...." We must be careful with our motives, for if our hearts are not clean, our motives will likely prompt us to sin. Ultimately, for all those who have nothing to hide, judgment day will be a glorious day!
