"Only God is in the position to look down on anyone, and he never does."

I like that quote. It comes from the book "Looking At Life Through The Rear View Mirror" by Dr. Paul Powell, Dean of Truett Seminary, Waco, Texas. Dr. Powell has been a friend of mine for years.

Christians, unfortunately, have a tendency to judge others or look down on others if they don't behave in a manner that we think is appropriate or think the way we think they should think. Consequently, we "judge" them or look down on them. When we do so, we put ourselves in the position of God.

That's why I like this quote... "Only God is in the position to look down on someone, and he never does." God loves us where we are. God picks us up.

Jesus said, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Matt. 7:1) NIV.
