How focused on others are you? Are you examining their life and actions of every conversation and action they do? Can they disappoint you and leave you feeling sad? Do their actions or lack there of cause you to question your own walk? That is when you know your focus is in the wrong place.
Matthew 7: 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
James 4:11-12 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. (Read More...)
James 3:6 - And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Lamentations 3: 22It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Isaiah 40:25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.26“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
I was praying and i heard "put aside your differences and help each other." I was reminded of the verse love your neighbor as you love yourself. I forgave everyone for their mistakes. I was also forgiven of my mistakes by TMH. Usually when you don't forgive people for whatever they did to you it causes a root of bitterness to spring up. You start to point out the bad in People. You only see their downfalls. You start to point and judge and speak evil. When you truly forgive you will be delivered of bitterness. Our deliverance comes from TMH.
