Here’s a simple principle taken straight from scripture (Jesus’ mouth): apply God’s standards of behavior to ourself first, it will discipline us in humility and compassion. Only then will it qualify us to extend a helping hand to those who stumble. The proper point of view starts in the heart, not the tip of our nose.
41 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?42 How can you think of saying, ‘Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
Luke 6:41-42
