Remember Your Faults, Find Humility (Proverbs 20:9)
One of the slippery slopes in life is focusing on the imperfections of others because we lose track of our own. We get critical and judgmental and prideful. What we need to do is remember. "Who can say," declares Proverbs 20:9, "that I have made my heart pure; I am clean from sin." Answer: Nobody! Your heart and mine need to frequently recall our quirks, our mess ups, and all that we've been forgiven so we can find humility and be softer and more compassionate with others.

Ron: You know, when it comes to faults, we all have them.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: One of the slippery slopes in life is focusing on the imperfections of others because we lose track of our own. We get critical and judgmental and prideful about ourselves. What we need to do is remember.
“Who can say,” declares Proverbs 20:9, “that I have made my heart pure; I am clean from sin.” Answer: Nobody! But if we don’t remember that, we get all high-and-mighty sometimes. No, your heart and mine need to frequently recall our quirks, our mess ups, and all that we’ve been forgiven so that we can find humility and be softer and more compassionate with others. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
