We judge others, others judge us: but its always from wrong motives. God has a wonderful way of allowing us to come to grips with our own shortcomings. Occasionally though, we need correcting because our actions are a bit off base. A Godly friend can gently bring our faults to our attention, which is much better than a harsh encounter, because hard resets hurt.
1 Cor 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
There's a big difference between correcting and judging, correcting means you actually care about the person. Judging, you may or may not care, but you lack compassion and understanding to relay an important life saving message. That's what God will judge. Spending your time talking about someone instead of talking to them has long standing effects on God's day of judgement.
