Judging and Loving

"God has the ability to judge and love at the same time. We, however, cannot do both at the same time. If we are judging someone, we can't be loving them. And if we are loving them, we can't be judging them."
Found this on someone else's blog and it really echos my heart.
I grew up in a church where judging others was a huge downfall and stronghold in the church.
Actually, it still is....and it still breaks my heart.
The older I get, the stronger the desire burns in my heart to love instead of judge.
Love them into the Kingdom, instead of convicting them into the Kingdom.
Because it's the Holy Spirit's job to convict anyways....not ours.
I just want to love others for who they are....because we are all imperfect humans.
Every single one of has has flaws...whether we realize them or not.
And God loves us...flaws and all.
So why don't we love others...flaws and all?
