What a dagger to my gut. The idea of living beneath the cross and treating others in the humility that comes from that posture is incredibly eye-opening. Pride is something I've ben struggling with lately, and pointing out other believers imperfections in their faith journey is something I have recognize as a flaw of mine. Realizing that living beneath the cross means treating others as better than yourself and allowing space for them to come to you as a sinner and relate in that fact is something I really need to work on. I tend to see the speck in someone else's eye before I have taken out the plank in my own eye.
Lord, help me to pull out the prideful plank that is blocking my vision to see clearly with the lense of Christ how to see others as better than myself. Show me how to meet you in humility at the cross in any relationship, especially where my pride seems to creep in.
Maddie I can totally relate. I'm quick to see the flaws in others before I see them in myself. Praying for humility
