BEFORE YOU CONDEMN OTHERS
Dear Friend,
I want to encourage you with wisdom from Matthew 7:3—Jesus’ words about the speck and the plank. It’s easy to notice faults in others, but God calls us to examine ourselves first. Before pointing out someone else’s mistakes, take a moment to reflect on your own life. Are there areas where you also need growth and correction?
Rather than being quick to judge, approach others with grace and humility. When correction is needed, let it come from a place of love, not criticism. The goal is not to condemn but to help one another grow in Christ.
So today, ask God to help you see yourself clearly, correct your own shortcomings, and extend the same patience and kindness to others that you would want for yourself. When you do, you’ll find that relationships are strengthened, and your influence becomes a blessing rather than a burden.
Stay humble, stay gracious, and let love lead.
Blessings,
Pst. Wale-Rich Oladunjoye
