Judgmental Accountability

Matthew 7:1-2

Judge not others and you won't be judged,
Many times our thoughts can be grudged;
For the judgment that you may pronounce,
Can be judged later on in your accounts;
The measure you give is what you get,
Later in life decisions that you may regret;
Look in a mirror and judge what you see,
Think of what God's judgment would be;
Ensure that your own closet will be clean,
Before someone else's closet to be seen;
You may find some skeletons in their closet,
Cause your skeletons start making a racket;
In other words, ensure to clean up your act,
Think of the implications that may impact;
It is not up to any of us to judge another,
Judgment can only come from our Father;
For He is always fair and judges impartial,
For a human trait tends to be too emotional;
Just remember it's not really debatable,
For only to God are our actions accountable.
