The Beam in Our Eye. Lk. 6:39-45

Did you see that!

Did you hear that!

I cannot believe He did that!

Very little gets past us nowadays.

With the internet, Facebook, cameras everywhere nothing is private and therefore everyone has a comment about everything and everyone.

We have become judge and jury on each other.

But while we are quick to notice what everyone else is doing, very seldom do we notice or critique ourselves.

Are we not all human beings cut out of the same cloth?

Formed from the same dirt?

Are we really so different from each other?

We are so busy noticing the splinter in the other person's eye, that we are blind to the wooden beam in our own. Lk. 6:42

Before we make a comment or judgement or critique abut another person we should always look in the mirror.

And after taking a good, long, hard look in the mirror we might see more clearly and speak more wisely about the other person who only has a splinter in their eye.

God Bless
