Day 19

Do not judge, and you will certainly not be judged; do not condemn, and you will certainly not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Luke 6:37

Read it aloud. Then sit with it. Say nothing for five minutes.

Who did you convict this week, in your head, without a hearing?

The card is drawn on your own phone and never leaves it until you send it.

A note on one word: forgive

The Greek verb here is apolyo, to set free, to let go. It is not the aphiemi of the Lord's Prayer. Release is the plainer sense of apolyo, and it is kept as Root's reading in the glossary. Forgive stands here so that this saying does not disagree with the other mornings in these forty days where the same act is named.
