Word of God clearly says in Matthew 7:5- You hypocrite,
first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take
the speck out of your neighbour’s eye.
In today’s world we see that
most of the people are interested to give advice to others and when somebody gives
advice to them they either become angry or irritated or violent.
In the same way people who
point out at the mistake of others are more when they are doing bigger mistakes
than others. We all have to learn to mind our own business and when we have
learnt to rectify our mistakes then only we have to help others identify their
mistakes and rectify it.
We most of the times correct
others in a aggressive way thinking that they will change but the truth is they
will change only for a moment and after sometime they will do the same thing what
they were doing before. If we correct ourselves according to the Word and live
a righteous life then automatically others change looking at us.
If we do not correct
ourselves first according to the Word of God and try to correct others then we
will look like hypocrites. If we grow in hypocrisy then people we have given
advice may reach towards the path of heaven but we may slip either to purgatory
or to hell.
It is better for us to look
at our life and see things we are doing wrong so that we may rectify every
wrong with the help of the Word of God. If we overcome one area let us not
think it’s finished and move on but
search for next area we need to overcome
till we grow in perfection and overcome every dark areas of our life, once we
have managed to overcome every dark areas in our life, God will send people to
us so that they may also overcome every dark areas of their life.
Let us practice to be stern
with ourselves till we start doing everything right in our life which we were
doing wrong because of influence of people or world or flesh, then only let us correct
others according to the Word of God gently. When we correct other with
gentleness surely we will see their life changed and also others life changed
through them.
