When we are caught up within ourselves, we only can see what is immediately directly around us.
It is a challenge to see far ahead; It is easier to look behind,to the left and to the right. It is so easy to point fingers outward. It is far easier to do that than to take a step back and take the painful look inward.
We understand only what we choose to understand.
It is a conscious choice.
I am told, who are you to cast judgement on other people; yet I am constantly being judged and punished for weakness/sin without a split second thought. It is a conscious choice.
But I don't say anything, because one says one has the "right" to do just that; to cast judgement. Who gives one this right? God? Not the God that I understand to know that loves people.
All I know is this; we do the best that we can to live according to God's teachings and His word every single day. Who are we to say that a person who actively endeavors to do this every single day is not doing enough and therefore doesn't deserve one's love. Who judges this...
God commands us: You must love the Lord your God with all your mind and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these. Mark 12: 31.
