God examines hearts and minds; so, make sure that you have also examined your own. Friend, it is easy to look at others and see faults. Looking at ourselves however, is much harder to do. Not because we are unaware of our faults, but because we seem to make excuses for our own. The best way to grow, is to be the best versions of ourselves. The best way to do that; is to keep doing what we are doing right and work at, with God’s help; what we are doing wrong. Friend before we go and judge another, let us let God take care of it. He knows their hearts and minds, not us. Let us ask ourselves how we can better grow, by reflecting on our own faults and correcting them. For one can never grow in their own garden, if they are too busy tending to someone else’s weeds. A person that tends to their own weeds, has better room to flourish and grow; just as God intended them to.

Matthew 7:1-2

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Psalm 139:23-24

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.
