There is a strange
thing we humans sometimes do. It goes like this: we point out faults in others
because it makes us feel a little better about ourselves. In fact, as we identify faults in others it
might even convince us, in some odd way, that we actually have fewer faults.
This, obviously, creates a strong incentive for continuing this type of
behavior.
I’d like to tell you
this is something I’ve read about and observed in others and that is how I know
about it. But, unfortunately, I have
done this type of thing.
It is helpful and
important for us to remember that intentionally setting out to find fault in
others is not necessary. We do not have
to tear others down in order to prove to ourselves we are persons of dignity
and worth, in spite of our faults.
God created us, on
purpose. God loves us and cares about
us. We have dignity and worth to the
Creator of all things.
