“And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3 (NKJV)
“The early Christians began to look for defects in one another. Dwelling upon mistakes, giving place to unkind criticism, they lost sight of the Saviour and of the great love He had revealed for sinners. They became more strict in regard to outward ceremonies, more particular about the theory of the faith, more severe in their criticisms. In their zeal to condemn others they forgot their own errors. They forgot the lesson of brotherly love that Christ had taught. And, saddest of all, they were unconscious of their loss. They did not realize that happiness and joy were going out of their lives, and that soon they would walk in darkness, having shut the love of God out of their hearts.” Testimonies, Vol. 8, 241.3
Prayer for Unity
Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times we have focused on the faults of others while neglecting our own need for Your grace. Teach us to love one another with the same patience and compassion that Jesus shows to us. Remove the spirit of criticism from our hearts and replace it with kindness, humility, and brotherly love. May Your church be united in Christ, walking together in truth, joy, and peace. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, that we may reflect Your love and bring light to a world in darkness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
