Faults

If I am honest, the faults I see in others is a true reflection of me...
Oh Lord, help me to recognize my own hypocrisy.

Sometimes it's easy to point at others and see all the bad that is...
But we must be loving  and forgiving because we are one of His.

I have plenty of faults that are plain for all to see...
And all I can say is be patient and forgiving of me.

I am a work in progress and there are still a lot of loose ends...
A lot of rough miles and a lot of sins.

We can't give up because there is a long way to go...
And I am still discovering faults I didn't even know.

Oh, yes. We each can relate, as we continue to move forward and strive to improve our own character and to overlook the flaws of others.
