'Plank-eye!

Plank-eye!

"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted." Galatians 6:1

Great wisdom is required in those who would point out faults to others. They need deep love in their hearts, that they may truly seek the good of those in whom they detect flaws or errors — and not criticize in a spirit of exultation.

Too many take delight in discovering faults in other people, and in pointing them out. Others do it only when they are in anger, blurting out their piercing criticisms in fits of bad temper.

We should all seek to possess the spirit of Christ, who was most patient and gentle in telling His friends wherein they failed.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye!" Matthew 7:3-5
