People sometimes quickly judge
Because inside they hold a grudge.
Healing comes through love and prayer
And prevents this painful error.
To make an effort to converse
The grudge itself just may reverse.
To search one's heart is always wise.
Perspectives there might bring surprise.
Be slow to judge and slow to speak.
Let love rule, God,s wisdom seek.
Let all hate and judgment cease.
In understanding there is peace.
"Understand (this), my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear (a ready listener), slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry."
James 1:19 Amplified Bible
"Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously."
John 7:24 Amplified Bible
