'Other people's faults
Other people's faults
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8
It is easier to see other people's faults, than our own.
We are more troubled more about the way our neighbors live — than we are with our own shortcomings. We are more concerned about the failures of others, than for our own.
We shall not be called to answer at God's judgment for the deeds of others.
Rather, we shall give account for our every act, word, attitude, and feeling. We should train ourselves to keep a conscientious watch over every aspect of our own life.
It is better to give less attention to our neighbor's foibles and failures — and more to our own.
If we give strict attention to our own faults — there is little time to look after other people's. Seeing and knowing our own defects — makes us more charitable to those of others.
"So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another." Romans 14:12-13
