Paradigm Shift

Today I was in the car with my mother in law and my brother in law and they were talking about how we see people in our eyes. Not that long ago I realized that every time I watch somebody or talk to somebody I have something mean to say about it. I realized that I was the one who had the real problem because I was judging. Later during the day I read some scripture. They are: 3 Nephi 14:2 -- For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And also 1 Samuel 16:7 -- But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. If you think about it what we judge about people we will get to be judged on the same thing. Would you like to be judged on something small -- I wouldn't. The Lord doesn't judge us and isn't the goal to be more Christ-Like? At the beginning of the year Tony and I decided to make family goals and one of the goals is that we would treats others how we want to be treated and that we would always find the good in everybody around us. My hope that is that everybody will take the challenge to try and be kind to those around you and to become more Christ-Like and not judge those. Just try and start be finding something nice to say to those around you even if it's in your mind. Like if you see a girl that looks like she may be struggling to her you could would you like some help or Gee! I wish I had the will to keep pushing on like she is doing, or it could be as simple as wow she did a good job on her makeup or she is pretty! When you start with the simple you begin to start getting in the habit of being nice to those around you.
