Judging

Romans 2:3 "And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?"

This is a principle repeated over and over in God's Word. It is apparent that God isn't swayed by your opinions of other people. My responsibility lies first within myself.

Is there a blind spot that I see in someone else's life? My first response to this should be to carefully, prayerfully check my own life for any blind spots.

Matthew 7:3-5 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

After I have examined my own faults and dealt with them properly, then and only then should I approach someone else who about their faults. And when I do approach them, it is to be in a loving manner, with an aim to help and not judge.

When was the last time I critically examined my own life for faults and blind spots? Have I prayer, asking God to reveal them to me? Is there a trusted friend that I can ask to be honest about this with me?
