Today I read the second part of section 10 in the Doctrine and Covenants. The Lord is still lecturing Joseph Smith on letting Martin Harris take those transcripts. But he makes a good point in verse 37: "But as you cannot always judge the righteous, or as you cannot always tell the wicked from the righteous, therefore I say unto you, hold your peace until I shall see fit to make all things known unto the world concerning the matter."
I really like that because it helps me remember that I do not know everything. And my impressions of people can be way off. Heavenly Father is the only one right now who knows the thoughts and intents of every person's heart. I only know a smidgen of what they are feeling. It was a good gentle reminder that I should remember to worry only about myself and bettering myself, and being better at serving others because I don't know what they are going through.
