Judge With Eyes Open Not Shut -Matthew 7: 1-7
Scripture meets this dilemma strongly
if you don't judge others then you're safe
so you won't get judged yourself
fall to this sin then you're it's slave
Remember what you measure upon others
will be slide ruled to what becomes you
stand to be fair to yourself and others
equality is the key that makes sure you do
Our eyes are open wide to others
but how do we only see that speck?
when we're looking at that other person
we really need give self a good check
Think hard when looking at yourself
your eyes really are so very shut
blinding you to real error of your ways
accept the truth no more excuses but
The lesson learned is always better
to judge yourself before any other
take that log out so you see clear
to judge not your sister or brother
(“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Ask, and It Will Be Given
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. )
Matthew 7: 1-7 (ESV)
