ouch


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?

Quite often I catch myself complaining about other people.
Most of the time, I am pretty sure that I know what they need to do to change whatever it is that is annoying me at the moment.

Facing your own sin is much harder than pointing out someone else's problems - it is tempting to "fix" others - but their issues are between them and God.
I am going to do my best to start cleaning up my own yard, instead of sitting on my deck complaining that the neighbor needs to mow.
