Letter 4525
What is hard for me is easy for another.
What is easy for me is hard for another.
Wherefore then do I judge? Why then do I worry of others’ judgment?
By this measure can I rightly judge my own acts: How aligned they are with your will — how truthfully am I trying to find that alignment.
The sun peeking into my room, it illuminates a tidy desk as well as remnants of last night’s meal, uncleared. Meanwhile here I sit, in devotion to you, seeking your will.
❖
I am untroubled by judgment over my table. Let me carry this through the day.
Let me see and do your will.
Consider:
Can I release judgment today?
