Loving without judging or changing

Lance Wubbels also said, "I will love others just the way they are...without judging them or trying to change them into the image of what I'd like them to become."

-Loving people ~ just the way they are. Isn't that the way we want to be loved? It doesn't mean you don't want "better" for them. It doesn't mean you don't see their faults. It means you love them inspite of this. And love usually boils down to this....loving inspite of....whatever it is.

-Loving people ~ without judging them. That can be difficult. We're such good judges aren't we. We don't even need a jury. We can do it without any help or counsel- or even law books!

-Loving people ~ without wanting to change them - in any way. Usually we have better plans for them. Usually they could make us happier if they changed in a certain way. Usually we want more out of them. Mostly then, we are disappointed. Change is hard, for them, and for us. Leave the change - or should I say, transformation - in God's hands, and let the acceptance be in our hands.
