Today, before you point out the failures of others with a spirit of "love", ask yourself specifically: What have I done today to rescue the child abandoned to prostitution? When did I offer water to the thirsty? In what ways have I sought to bring healing to the wounded? To whom did I say "You are glorious and loved well beyond your imagination".
Rather than being a weapon of force to remind others of their failures we should hear the words of St. Francis: "Lord, Make me an instrument of Your Peace."
Soli Deo Gloria
So often I get defensive and want to repay that emotion back and that is so wrong. Thanks for the thought and reminder of our purpose as christians.
