Being Critical

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37 NIV

It is easy to look at others and see the wrong in them. We forget to look at ourselves. More often than not, we do the same things we accuse others of. We do not know the motives of others, must less know our own motives all the time. God alone knows our motives. Even though He hates sin, He loves the sinner. Maybe we should be more like God.

“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, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Luke 6:41-42 NIV
