Matthew 7:3 "Why worry about a speck in your friends eye when you have a log in your own?"
What do I observe in this little verse of scripture? For me, it embodies the whole teaching on Boundaries. Taking ownership for only what is mine and if I don't 'own' it, I shouldn't try to 'rule' it! I have enough to take care of in my own life (logs) without trying to correct problems (specks) in my friends life.
Lord, help me remember to find the boundary today between what is mine to be concerned about and what is not mine. Also, Lord, keep me focused on YOU as the authority and power in my life and my friends (and families) lives to deal with our respective specks and logs. Amen OH YES! By the way! I love you!
