So don't tell me you haven't done it, judged someone for something only to realize that the only way you were able to recognise their fault is because you have done exactly the same thing. A log and a speck, that 's what Jesus called them in Matthew 7v5.
In some cases our logs and speck's may not be something of a sinful nature, they can even be emotional issues like trust. We may be uncomfortable with someone else's behaviour only to find that we are struggling with the same issues too.
That's where grace comes in. Learn to show others grace, and determine in your heart to deal with your own issues first, then once that is done, you may be able to minister to other's from a position of compassion and love.
If I've pinched a nerve, fear not, today I'm really preaching to myself :-)
