I think that sometimes we can be such an over-analytical-judgmental people, that we are conditioning our friendships against humility.

We need to become trained in friendships of love, not friendships of proofs.  I pray I never make others feel like they must “display” their own works and life with Christ before my eyes so that I may validate it for them, or so my opinion of them changes.  It is not my job to judge them, but it is my job not to help them stumble.

The need for such evidencs is hindering our efforts at humility, and conditioning us towards pride.  This pride leads to a broader scope of judgment, not humility.  It leads to circles of judgmental believers.  How can one accept the call to humility when they must broadcast their faith to be accepted.

Let the humility of our hearts begin in our relationships, and watch it trickle down into ourselves.  We do not know the heart of a person - only He knows that.
