Overthrowing Judgement

I have a confession.
I struggle with judgement.

That's pretty ridiculous given that
I have been extended so much grace in my life.
I have no right to judge anyone.
Plain and simple.

I will admit to having extended judgement on Ted Haggard and his wife Gayle.
Weeks ago when I saw that they were going to be on Celebrity Wife Swap
I remember thinking, "Seriously??"
I didn't watch the episode but I did read this interview
in which Gayle discusses their decision to appear on the show.
One thing that she says really stood out to me:

"I would not have volunteered for this path but I’m grateful everyday for what God has done as a result. In Proverbs, it says that the godly will fall seven times and get up again. It’s the wicked that are overcome by one stumble."


Wow. What a great perspective.
I'm thankful that God has given her that perspective
and I'm thankful that He extends grace even in the midst of my hypocrisy.
