Matthew 7:3-5 ~ “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”
The above scripture is one that I work on daily. How many of *y’all are too quick to point out your brothers’ or sister’s faults, but never seem to point the finger at yourselves? You should always look at yourself before you point out someone else’s faults. Looking at ourselves, and realizing we fall short keeps us humble and closer to God. When I am mentoring or talking to someone about something that they are going through, I make sure to use myself as an example to show them my shortcomings also. Trust me, when I say that you can win more people to CHRIST when you apply this mentality. No matter what you are going through, always make sure to look in the mirror at ‘you’ to see if you are the one walking in line with the Word especially before you try to correct someone else. I know this is easier said that than done, but you will help win more people to God’s Kingdom if you do this, and it will make your spiritual walk stronger which is something we should all be striving for.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y’all.
