"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things."
Romans 2:1
Such a good reminder. So often we look at others' weaknesses without considering our own. We might not do the *exact* same thing as someone else, but we all have similar weaknesses. We justify our own while looking down on others, which, as the verse says, tends to condemn us.
How do we change this? Probably practice, like everything else. We can start by trying to see things from other people's perspectives and asking ourselves how we would feel if we were in their situation, or just remember that we also have done things that we have needed forgiveness for.
Today, let's work on giving others the same benefit of the doubt that we give ourselves... a chance to change, to repent, and an assumption of the heart being in the right place. :)
