It's very much a part of our human nature to take one look at a person and start drawing conclusions based on appearance alone. Unfortunately, this affects the way we relate to that individual oftentimes even before we even meet them! We are warned to not discriminate and becomes judges. God loves everyone, even the ones that we would think are unloveable. We are commanded to do likewise. We are also admonished to look after the needs of others, as that is a reflection of our faith.
The tongue again! James gives us such practical teaching on this subject with some great object lessons of ships, fire, horses, etc. Lots of ways to remember the lesson of taming the tongue.
I want the wisdom that comes from heaven. The world is full of wisdom that is earthly and God's blessing is not in it.
