If I fail to See My Own Faults

by Lori

“My faults are deeper then I care to imagine, but I will never see the need others really have until I dare to consider my own true nature. If I do not consider my own causes for shame, I will judge others instead of loving them. I will distance myself from them instead of recognizing how our mutual needs unite us. I will look down on them instead of embracing them. I will stand aloof, rather than eye to eye. If I stop seeing the person I really am in my mirror, I will stop seeing the faces of others; and then the care that is the vehicle of the Gospel will not flow from me.” Bryan Chapell in The Wonder of it All

  • Lori,

    Thank you so much for this inspiring reminder today. It truly is one of the most important things to keeping balance in my life. I fail miserably at times and need a nudge or a shove from God when it happens. Have a wonderful day.

    Love and Hugs, Laurie
