Love instead of judging

One day, a surgeon entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call. And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do?” Said the father angrily.

The christian doctor smiled again and replied, “I will say what Job 1:21 says in the Bible, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. May the name of the LORD be praised. That is the case with everyone. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best with God’s grace.”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy.” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse.” The doctor replied.

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident and he was attending his son's wake when we called him in for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he just left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Moral: We should never judge others because we never know how their life is and what is happening or what they’re going through.
