Those elements equal love for most of us. Definitely judgment and criticism must move far away, into another space and time. They are the poisons that kill the spirit and plant self-loathing. That doesn't mean there can be no judgment or criticism, but not in the safe place. The blanket of security and acceptance must be available. The heartache and pain sown into the world by untimely and awkward judgment and criticism is probably untold. Wars and all kinds of strife are created from that seed.
As a mom, I am learning each and every day to kindle the spark of a young spirit and not quench it with words of criticism and non-verbal gestures of judgment. God please help me to grow and learn this lesson better every day. Thank you for your many blessings.
