Let's Not Be So Self-Righteous!

If you're going to be so self-righteous & holier-than-thou & hypocritical as to think you're holier than somebody because they have sinned against you, but oh, no, you've never sinned, therefore you're not going to forgive them--then you're the biggest sinner of all!--And if you have self-righteous feelings of being better than they are, & you look down on them like the Pharisee who said, "I thank Thee, O God, that I am not as this man" (Lk.18:9-14), then that holier-than-thou, self-righteous attitude in itself is the worse sin!--In fact, self-righteousness is one of the greatest sins of all!

We should take a kind, loving, sympathetic & forgiving attitude toward others & try to have mercy as we want mercy, & treat others in their errors as we want the Lord to treat us in ours! We must forgive those who've wronged us, & seek forgiveness of those we've wronged, & take them by the hand back into our circle of love, fellowship & joyful labors together.

May we all be more humble, more patient, more loving, more kind, more forgiving & more long-suffering with each other, Lord.--And may we sincerely pray, "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us." (Lk.11:4)
