“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”
“The way I feel, in order to love, you've got to leave yourself completely vulnerable. I don't judge anyone because I'm always being judged, so I allow the book to be open.”
Thanks for sharing Lass. I'm not Christian, but I have read the bible. This poem reminds me of the book of Matthew when Jesus preached about judging others..."How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of our eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?"

As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp...
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics, the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
"And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "they're all in shock...
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
