People have a way to challenge us. There is always one or two that you feel somedays you just want to shake them a bit. This scripture is one of my biggest challenges. I get upset at people for their lack or arrogance or even entitlement they have and I always have to ask the Holy Spirit for a clean and open heart towards them.
Funny thing is that though we make it through today that same pre-conceived assumptions are back tomorrow. Jesus goes on here in Matthew 7 and says ““And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?” This is so important. There are two things Jesus said that we should keep in our minds.
One, change starts with you, so look at your own faults first before you look at others. Two, Jesus said you must even love your enemy and do good towards them. Love is the answer to all our issues with one another.
When you correct someone out of love and concern for their wellbeing, then you display the love Jesus modelled. My dear friend, always try to see the good in other and strive to be better and guide them with respect and love. Sometimes that love is hard to hear but if you follow the Holy Spirit in it, it will have the effect needed.
Have an awesome day.
