Matthew 7:3-5
New International Version (NIV)
“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."
I absolutely love how Joyce Meyer paraphrases this passage" "Why try to get the toothpick out of your brother's eye when you have a telephone pole in your own."
My prayer is every time I am tempted to criticize someone that I stop and don't do it. Instead I need to often look inward to what I can improve on as disciple of Jesus. Life is too short to spend time judging others. It is far better to concentrate on helping and loving others.
