"For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world."
1 Corinthians 11:31-32
I like this idea that no external judgment would be needed if we would judge ourselves. Also, this makes clear that the only reason that God chastens us is to help us. He asks us to not be like everyone else, not to go along with the crowd, but instead to be examples of goodness and love and to be instruments of change in the world.
Today, let's not wait for God to correct us. Let's examine ourselves and make some changes. Let's be proactive and move closer to our best selves, keeping in touch with God and drawing on his power to help us change both ourselves and the world around us for the better.
