Cease resistance; abandon control of your life entirely, and come into complete submission to God. That’s what it means to surrender. When Y’shua returns, some of you will be like Him. And for that transformation to occur, it requires that you surrender your judgment of others and practice first honoring others instead.
Pray this without ceasing: “Yahweh, I confess that it is wrong to cast a predetermined negative personal opinion or conclusion about someone using a prejudiced assessment or based on my own biased set of conditions. Help me no longer make automatic negative determinations, assumptions, or conclusions, or prematurely condemn, criticize, or discriminate. I recognize that prejudiced and biased judgment can additionally be displayed towards an institution or organization using the same negatively skewed standards. Today, I will give the respect due and offer special recognition to someone who is truly deserving of acknowledgment for a worthwhile achievement, the demonstration of godly character, holds a truly admirable position, or seeks a legitimately important ambition. I will begin with assuming the best of others and choose to be optimistic about people. I will appreciate, revere, and respect someone for what is positive about them. When I am tempted to judge someone improperly, even when they deserve rebuke, first I will find something in them that deserves praise, which should help moderate how I administer that judgment! I understand that honor can additionally be displayed towards institutions and organizations that collectively meet the same standards as an individual worthy of such acknowledgment.”
Whoever won’t surrender their habit of instantly passing judgment on others, and instead make it a practice of first finding something in them to honor before they make a negative final determination, simply won’t become like Him.
