every human has secrets
no matter how holy one may seem
there are things only God knows about the soul of a man
struggles we don't even understand plague the mind
Augustine said 'we don't even know ourselves"
this may be why Jesus said "don't judge"
we need to understand these complexities,
these mysteries that make up the human condition
and when we need to confront a friend or family member
who may be rushing headlong into some kind of destruction,
we must judge in humility and mercy
knowing our own struggles with our own stuff
otherwise,
we miss the point of the cross
which is to miss the point of God's love,
which is to miss mercy..
which is hell..
