The thought behind the quote
Guard yourself against judging other people based on your fixed mindset. When you judge others you are not revealing how they are, you are revealing how you are! In fact, Jesus said, “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged." “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite!
Read the full thought
First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5 NLT)
When you judge others, you are also revealing CONTROL ISSUES. When you can’t control, you judge...you criticize...you become negative, which is a controlling spirit...that is controlling YOU! The enemy's goal is to get you to settle into a fixed mindset so that you won’t grow and therefore will not give others room to grow!
Don’t LEASH the BIG that is in other people because of your small view. A person’s BIG is their God-given GREATNESS...it’s the GLORY OF GOD in them. Remember this: God doesn’t just see you as you are right now! He sees the END from the BEGINNING! He sees you through the finished work of the cross!
Lastly, UNLEASH OTHERS and you will UNLEASH YOURSELF!!
