Why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own? Matthew 7:3

I was reading my book of devotions for moms today and this was the Bible verse that was first listed under the heading.

I thought that the phrase was kind of odd at first but I did read another quote that was underneath that one and it made me think. This was the quote:

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and the angels know of us. Thomas Paine

We in each of ourselves know what our strengths and weaknesses are. We strive to have a good reputation and have people think the highest of us. We are in a society that to have that is craved. However, each and every person has their downfalls and they know what they are. As my dad used to put it "Watch when you point your finger as three more are pointing right back at you."

Guess the main point of this is to remind us to not pay as much attention to other peoples faults but to pay attention to our own and do what is possible to work on ourselves. Look first into your own problems before focusing on other peoples problem.

Food for thought for the day.....
