Misjudged

with beams in his eyes

          he points at the speck in mine - 

                       I keep my peace







*inspired by Matthew 7:5

It is so true, people who are judgemental do seem to be blinded to their own shortcomings.

Good one that is Biblically based work..I enjoyed reading it..One Bible translate it as how can you get a tooth pick out of your brother's eye when you have a telephone pole in your eye?.Reads like a winner to me...Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Excellently written and inspiring dear, Kim. If only all men and women could listen to this divine advice then we all could follow what he says at Matthew 5:48. where he calls us to be perfect as our father in heaven is perfect! God bless you.
