A good reminder

I found this on Lindafay's blog.  It is a good reminder for me and for others, too, I am sure…

“When you become outraged over a person's fault, it is generally not “righteous indignation” but your own impatient personality expressing itself. Here is the imperfect pointing a finger at the imperfect. The more you selfishly love yourself, the more critical you will be. Self-love cannot forgive the self-love it discovers in others. Nothing is so offensive to a haughty, conceited heart as the sight of another one.

God's love, however, is full of consideration, patience, and tenderness. It leads people out of their weakness and sin one step at a time.”
