Judgement

John 7:24
"Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”

This morning's devotion was a wonderful reminder that God is a righteous and just God, who will judge us by looking at our heart and not our appearance.
Everywhere we go, people judge us by the most superficial things- our appearances. How rich we appear, how beautiful we are, how well we keep up with fashion. We put up a facade and try to conform to society's norms.
But we can be assured and take comfort in God who will judge us righteously and justly, looking into our heart. He sees our broken and defiled self, he sees who we truly are. And I couldn't be more thankful for this. When I feel like I'm judged, I know I can look to Jesus, who was judged by all- who took all our sinful burdens and was nailed to the cross.
God judges our heart, not our appearances.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
