Yes I would say very close when looking up. I would extend on that though. If a person judges and voices their judgment then I have something to work with. Even if those judgments are lies or selfish attempts to control, I still have some information to work with.
I would extend that to helping someone. Not just children but the friend, neighbor, or person from the street where there can be found all manner of lies, scams, a lack of faith in others, paranoia, addictions, hatred, entrenched disorders, etc... But if I want to truly try to help a person who I think is lost for whatever reason, then judging and judgment is a part of it. Rebuke and praise. Placing faith, giving, and forgiving are requirements, but it is all wasted and unfruitful without judgment and rebuke. Speak for what you believe is true.
With God, yes... frank and honest is what I look for whether it is instruction, rebuke or praise. I have even paid good money to be rebuked and told over and over that I was wrong. Judge me. If eternal judgment is what I have, then I have eternal life. Yes one person's heaven is another person's hell. I find that true hell is the place without judgment. Without God's judgment. Why pray for little things when you can pray for judgment? That place where I even paid for judgment... that personal kind of judgment of everything that I had to say... full of judgmentalism in every room... full of rebuke on nearly every piece of paper that I wrote on, with just a single day of praise in the end... was college. College... the institution of judgmentalism... well worth the money it was. Is there someone giving it out for free? Where do I sign? If there is a teacher that will NOT judge me, and rebuke me, then I have mistakingly called him a teacher.
