Seeing Clearly

"Why do you look at 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,' and behold, the log is 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." -Matthew 7:3-5 (NASB)

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -I John 1:9 (NASB)
Winter brings different challenges.  Snow can impact our ability to go out and about.  However, the combination of wind and snow in a blizzard can reduce visibility and add to the challenge of deepening snow.  When we think about heading out on the road, we need to be sure to see clearly in order to get where we are going safely. 

When traveling through our spiritual lives, we need to be able to see, too.  Sometimes we think we can clearly see the faults of those around us.  Jesus warns us that when we are looking for the faults in others, we first need to look at ourselves.  Just like the blizzard keeps us from seeing clearly, our sins and pride can keep us from seeing ourselves clearly.  Instead of judging others, we need to remember to pray to God and ask Him to help remove the log from our eye.  Once we can see clearly, we can lovingly help others in His name.

See clearly by asking for God's forgiveness to take the log out of your own eye!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for your willingness to forgive me.  Please help me to accept Your forgiveness and to use the clear vision You give me to lovingly help others in Your name.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
