Fault-finding
"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam that is in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3
It is strange how oblivious we can be of our own faults and of the blemishes in our own character — and how clearly we can see the faults and blemishes of other people!
Finding so much wrong in others, is not a flattering indication of what our hearts contain.
We ought to be very quiet and modest in criticizing others, for in many cases we are merely telling the world what our own faults are.
Before we turn our microscopes on others to search out the less than beautiful things in them, we had better look in our mirrors to see whether or not we are free ourselves from the blemishes we wish to correct in our neighbor.
There is a wise portion of Scripture telling us to get clear of the beams in our own eyes, that we may see clearly to pick the specks out of the eyes of others.
"A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense." Proverbs 19:11
