About This Quote
In a world where people are often quick to judge and make snap judgments, it is important that we use our best judgment to judge those who have been judged. Often, the decisions of those who have been judged are not as black and white as we might think. We should always be willing to fight for those who have been wronged by others. In this case, the person being prayed for is a person who is dead.
Praying for them is an act of forgiveness and gratitude. It is also an act of gratitude for the life they lived and the impact they had on others. If we live in a world where we judge everything based on a few bad experiences, we will not be able to create a better tomorrow.
