So you go around talking about people, saying how you do not like how your friend talks or acts etc. Some people can write a book on the bad attitudes another person has, saying ''how I pity her, If she doesn't change ehn.....'' and then you get more people to join you in your ''analysis club'' and someone outside this 'club' can be the topic of discussion for a whole night. You are so caught up in noticing the wrong in others, going around saying how a person has a bad attitude... most times what we say about other peoples attitudes are right, YES! but being a good 'observer' have you sat down to observe and analyze your bad attitudes? or you think you're a perfect angel that fell from heaven?, nothing's wrong with your attitude as well?
In case I didn't make sense in the first paragraph here's a scenario that will make my point clearer
Two friends, both ladies... one of them was always with one guy or the other doing as many things as you can imagine. The other friend never hesitated to tell who ever cares to listen how she didn't like how her friend behaved and her many 'relationships' how it isn't good and all, how God will not be happy with her. Obviously this is true and people agreed with her. But our 'Holy sister' on the other hand wasn't any different just that she 'packaged' hers lol, Unlike her friend who did hers for all to see, this other girl kept her 'runs' a secrete, she had a boyfriend but still had 'friends with benefit' and the other things similar to that, She called it having fun, she claimed it wasn't anything close to what her friend was doing (all these defenses came up after she had been caught tho)....
Good Lord have mercy on this 'Holy' girl who was judging the other, pointing her filthy fingers!!!!!
The Bible says in Matthew 7:1-5“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You
hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will
see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
There's nothing wrong with letting a friend know a bad attitude they need to drop, but while you're at it make sure you're not guilty. Make sure your hands are clean before you start to point fingers. Sometimes I see myself battling with this area in my life, I can easily put words together to let people know how this particular thing they're doing isn't right, but when I do these things the same way it feels right... if at all we must point fingers make sure we point at the ''man in the mirror'' first. Do not forget that as you're pointing that one finger, YOUR other four fingers are pointing right back at you.
God help us all
Ps: I cooked that story up xx
