Scripture lesson: Luke 6:39-42 Seeing other's faults

 

Time to reflect: It is such a strong instinct to correct or try to improve others while not wanting to look at our own faults and errors.

 

Moving Through The Day: What are some of the words or phrases you use to begin an criticism? Things such as “why don't you,” “don't you know,” “if you'd only.” These are usually the same words that make you cringe when you hear them said to you. Try to avoid these words or phrases this week.

 "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.
