“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3)
We all respect those who can admit their own faults. We consider it a strength, but we often fail to show it ourselves. Jesus gives us the rule – always notice your own faults before speaking to others about theirs. In every situation, I should consider my own failings and sins before moving on to anyone else’s.
By following this rule, we will save ourselves countless heartaches and also be better-equipped to help our brother or sister with their speck, having dealt with our own junk first. The most powerful tool you have to change the world around you is a good long look in the mirror.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
