RELIGIOUS JUDGMENT

Dear One,
When Love came to earth in bodily form, He was not recognized because He was different than the religious people anticipated. They expected all the traditional behavior, expected him to perform all the proprieties, expected Him to be accepted by the religious community, expected him to keep all the religious customs, expected Him to be subject to civil and religious authority. He did none of those. They expected Him to do what the religious laws required.
Sometimes you miss Love in a human form because the person is unkempt, unmannerly by your standards, unsophisticated, rebellious and nontraditional, yet the person knows how to love the unloved because he has been unloved or unaccepted also.
Don't pass by those who do not look like the kind of person you would choose to befriend, but watch for love in all humans. Sometimes the nonreligious person is the most loving person because he isn't looking for you to obey religious laws before he extends his approval and acceptance of you. Sometimes the nonreligious person sees the inner man, not the outer man who doesn't measure up to his religious standards. Sometimes the nonreligious person in the most loving person around.
Religious people are always measuring others by their religious standards of law. The nonreligious people have no religious standards by which to measure, so they don't judge others.
I want you to be like the nonreligious ones, nonjudgmental.
Love is the standard by which I want you to be measured by others. So remember that love overcomes everything negative in the world, even laws of religions.

Love, God
