Why is it when we see someone whose
particular sin is repulsive to us, we automatically think, “That person is
messed up”, or “That person needs serious help” but when we look upon ourselves
with our own sins, we give ourselves such grace and understanding. Everyone
struggles with sins and none of them are acceptable.
Sin is one thing, but crime is
another. That which negatively impacts society at large needs to be addressed
but addressed with mercy and understanding. Condemnation and judgment have no
place when dealing with sin. Help needs to be given not hatred or violence.
When we see someone else and are tempted to judge them for their sins, we need
to instead focus on ourselves and our own sins.
It is then that we will understand
the value of mercy and forgiveness.
