We sometimes form an attitude about another person,
Not giving recognition 'cause we've put them in a "box".
The "box" is formed by pre-set thoughts and "too-quick" observation.
It then looks down on that dear one and sometimes even mocks.
It's wrong to think we know someone and "judge" them in our hearts.
If God is working in that life, we mock what He designed.
It may be God brought that one to speak into our life.
Though we don't think they have import, they may have been "assigned"!
How very careful we must be to not "de-value" anyone
Nor put a "binding" on a life because we don't see clearly.
This may shortchange who they could be and cause them pain and fear.
They may not know just how you feel, but you've still hurt them dearly.
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."
Philippians 2:3 KJV
