What if everything we think was displayed for all to see

This past weekend, I went away with two of my good friends to a little town in the south of England called Weymouth. We went to my friend;s church, which was absolutely brilliant & the people were soooo friendly & welcoming. As my friend Nam & I were sitting down after the service was over, Nam leans over to me & says that she wishes she could change something about herself but doesn't quit know how. She said that she had terrible thoughts about the people that were in the church service. Like the lady who was sitting next to us that was wearing socks with her sandels. Nam said that she thought that the people of the church & the lady sitting next to us, were very old fashioned & out dated. The horrible thing is, I was thinking the exact same thing. What made me ever more ashamed of myself was, after the service the lady (who we thought was very old fashioned looking) came over to us & was extremly friendly & invited us to come have tea in the big hall. At that moment, I felt extremely ashamed of myself for thinking such thoughts about her. There was also another incidence of both of us thinking horrible thoughts about another lady in the church. The lady that was leading the worship service was extremely over weight & we were both thinking horrible thought about her & how we wished we would never look like her.

I guess that this is quit embarrasing to put up, but I'd like to share this with people, so hopefully they will be able to realize that we all do this & that we can change our thoughts & the way we perceive people. It will be hard to change my thoughts towards people & my judgementality (which is as equal of a sin, if not more, as having sex or killing someone), but I am only human & I can only call on God the Father & Holy Spirit to help me change who I am & how I think & act towards others.

I didn't even realize that I was sinning by thinking of others poorly, judging them, until pointed out to me by my friend. How we think we are so holy & perfect, yet there are so many things in our lives that we do which is spurred on by pride.

I hope whoever reads this, that they will not only see the plank of wood that is in my eye, but will also see their own faults & pray that God will help them to take away the pride that prevents them from forming amazing friendships with people that aren't like them. I'm sorry for judging those people today, because they are far better than me & are more humble than I could ever be.
