Judgment

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? - Jesus (Matthew 7:3)

It is so easy to judge other people. I've been working on that character defect for years. However, when I get angry in my judgments of others it is usually because something is too close to home. I've been doing some serious work on myself lately. I'm especially attentive to examining my personal character defects. I write about them and see them for what they are-in a word, "insecurity." Slowly I'm beginning to heal. I'm also discovering as I do this work on myself that I'm less judgmental toward others. And I'm a happier person.

I belive that only when I can remove the specks that are in my own eye will I be able to love you.
