Stop finding faults in others when you are filled with faults

"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."
-- Matthew 7:3-5


THOUGHT:
Finding fault in someone else is so easy for most of us. Finding
fault in ourselves is much trickier. Jesus reminds us that we must
deal with the shortcomings and sins in our own lives before we
start telling others how to live. Seems pretty simple, doesn't it?
But we all know it isn't.
