I have definitely had many moments where I’ve been quick to judge others, especially at times when I am stressed or upset. However, reflecting on biblical themes like forgiveness and reconciliation has helped me change my perspective. For instance, when a classmate made a mistake that affected our project, my initial reaction was to point out their flaws. But then I remembered the importance of forgiveness and letting go. I chose to overlook the mistake and instead offered help to fix it. This not only improved our working relationship but also brought a sense of peace and collaboration. I was able to release the negative emotions and focus on the positive aspects of our teamwork. It reminded me to always consider my own imperfections before judging others. This allowed us to work closer together but also reminded me to be patient and understanding, considering my own flaws before judging others.
