“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?..."
Luke 6:41 NIV
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 NIV
As humans we are all going through struggles and will continue to do so, but it is in how you deal with a struggle that makes the difference. Sin is our greatest struggle, the lure of temptation is always around, but when we give in, we mess up. Now the road to recovery is repentance and a quick rise, however, we often compare ourselves to others as if, to say, we have sinned less in degree. Sin is sin and there is no degree in comparison, however the comparison puts us even more in sin and that is what Jesus questions; "why do you see speck in your brother's eye and not the log in your own?"
Our hope is in God and He knows us much better than we know ourselves, He knew how every day would pan out in our lives, when He was forming us in our mother's womb. He knows our thoughts and the words that we will speak, He knows us through and through. It is right and just then for us to turn to God, like David and say "Search me, God, and know my heart..."
I pray that Unconditional Love and Mercy of God our Father and the sacrifice of His son Jesus be your Hope and may His Holy Spirit always lead you to His Eternal ways. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
