Judge Not

I have a secret fantasy.  I wish I could be Judge Judy.  In her courtroom, she can say whatever she wants.  I DVR her everyday and watch and laugh. She says the things I wish I could say.  "Well that is stupid"  "You, madam are not a nice person"  "You sir are a user"  Unfortunately, I am not a judge.  While I have my thoughts that may be like this at times, I am under a different commandment.

Romans 14:10-13 
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written,
   “AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME,
AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL [e]GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.”

 12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way.

Our commandment is Love.  The bible says in 1 Peter 4:8
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
I need to love to cover my multitude of sins!!!!
