Here Paul says that his "conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the apointed time; wait till the Lord comes."
He says that he does not even judge himself.
How often do we go around judging ourselves? I certainly do. "Oh, I am so sinful, I am so wicked, so foolish..." etc.
But I must remember that I am a child of God, his "treasured possession." No matter what people tell us, we are the apple of His eye.
However, it's so difficult to have confidence in oneself and one's identity in Christ! It's so difficult to remain strong and joyful when one is rejected by people, disliked. Even the nonchalance of a single person throws me off and gets me anxious. How to deal?
