My "Chinese New Year's" Resolution

One thing I have been finding in my scriptural studying lately is on the topic of forgiveness. In order to be forgiven, you must repent, right? Well part of repentance is giving up your sin. Part of giving up your sin is forgiving others of their weaknesses as well. That means not judging them. It goes back to something my mom told me once, "The thing you judge someone else about is likely something you're doing yourself."

I am making a commitment today to be less judgmental and scrutinizing and be more loving of everyone else. No matter whether I know them or whether I don't, whether they've wronged me or they have not, I will be kinder and more gentle-natured in everything I do. I need to get back to that mentality. That brings happiness.
