What's that in my eye? - *

It's so easy to recognize the shortcomings of others, while with regard to myself, I have so many blind spots. Just so, I can often see just what others need to do to improve, while at times I seem powerless to make any spiritual progress. I notice the speck of sawdust in my neighbor's eye, but fail to remove the plank from my own (Luke 6:41-42).

Read what Thomas a Kempis had to say in The Imitation of Christ:

Endeavor to be patient in bearing with the defects and infirmities of others, of what sort soever they be; for that thyself also hast many failings which must be borne with by others. If thou canst not make thyself such a one as thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another fashioned to thy liking? We would willingly have others perfect, and yet we amend not our own faults.
