Remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
A plaque written in Dutch, but translated it reads:
Change the World
Begin with Yourself
Not what most of us want to hear!
Jesus told a parable about the problem of not seeing our own faults. He said, “How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye” (Luke 6:42)
It’s a lesson some of us have to learn over and over. We can’t change others, but with God’s help we can change our own behavior. And when our attitude changes, it may seem as if others have changed as well
To change can be a wonderful prospect,
Though often it’s met with resistance;
The transformation begins within us
And will take a lot of persistence.
When God works a change in us
He can change others through us.
