Appearances are often Deceiving
Choosing a king: Samuel the prophet had chosen the
oldest son of Jesse because he looked the part. But God had chosen
David the youngest of the sons of Jesse. He was small and a sheepherder,
the lowest of occupations.
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance,
or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but
the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
We are often think one thing when we don't know what God
is doing.
He may allow us to go down one path so He can get
to on a different path.

It is not our place to judge others,
God says, "You worry about you and let Me worry about
the others."
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 6:37
We don't know what is in another persons heart
or how God is dealing with them.
Our job is to show God's Love.
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have
I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
There is plenty of people pointing out the rules.
If we point people to God He can deal with the other
stuff.
The saying fits here: You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
