Matthew 7:3
Matthew 7:3
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?
The call to examine our own lives before judging others encourages a humility that fosters healthy relationships. This inspiration reminds us that by focusing on our own growth, we free ourselves from the need to criticize others. This approach challenges us to look inward, addressing our own faults and working towards personal growth rather than pointing out the flaws in others. It invites us to extend grace, understanding that each person has their own journey. Let us embrace this call to self-reflection, choosing to be patient and compassionate with those around us. May we build a community that values kindness, where people feel supported rather than judged. By focusing on our own growth, we contribute to a culture of humility, empathy, and mutual respect.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Psalm 11:5
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
Luke 6:41
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Matthew 7:2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
