Love does not come with judgment. He who condemns his neighbor is not loving his neighbor. I think of the Savior, saying (in John 12:47), "I came not to judge the world , but to save the world." ( I think of the Savior extending love to the woman caught in adultery, telling her (in John 8:11), "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
Love is not judgment; Love is forgiveness. Love does not take another man's weaknesses, and flog him with them. It does not demand punishment, but rather seeks to console, to care for, and to comfort.
Love provides a way back without judging where one has been.
