Romans 14:12-13 -- On Getting Out of the Way

"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way."
Romans 14:12-13


This is interesting.  We're all going to have to face God at some point and be accountable for the lives that we've lived.  That's pretty huge, and something that we can leave to God.

Instead of judging each other, what we should be focusing on is not making it harder for each other.  Which is a big challenge. :)  It is easy to complain about others, or get in their way in conversation, in a job, in education, in a family... to make anyone's life worse instead of better, even in small ways.  To make decisions harder, or block opportunities. 

Today, maybe we should focus on getting out of the way. :)  Let's give everyone around us room to grow, and support their efforts to become better people. Let's be a force for good, with *everyone* ... and never a force for evil in even the smallest way.
