Do not speak evil against one another… Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge… So who, then, are you to judge your neighbour? James 4:11-12.

Spiritual power cannot pass through a personality where resentment exists. Hate is a non-conductor of spiritual energy.

Norman Vincent Peale suggested that every time you pray you add this phrase, `Lord take from my thought all ill will, grudges, hates, jealousies’. Then practise casting these things from your thoughts.

A basic spiritual principle is: The measure we use for others, God will use for us. If we do not judge others, God will not judge us; if we do not condemn others, God will not condemn us; if we forgive, God forgives us even more; so let us give, and God will give to us a full measure, a generous helping, poured into our hands, more than we can hold.

Lord, remind me every day that we are all, equally, privileged but not unentitled beggars before the door of God’s mercy. Amen.
