Being a great friend or family member is about helping your friends and loved ones to become the best version of themselves.

God began to show me that judging, criticizing, scaring people into doing things wasn’t reflecting who he was therefore I was being a hindrance to others. People knew how much I loved God, I was never quiet about it and some of the things God would do for me, I couldn’t keep quiet about either.

The problem was when I talked about his grace in my life and I showed none to others, I was going more backward than forward.

Worry about your side of the street

Of what does not concern you, say nothing good or bad

When I would start to criticize people, I started to stop myself and I interrupted those thoughts. I did that until I learned to do better. I reminded myself how bad my mess was and how long that took me to clean up. I replaced judgment with compassion. I felt that was the only way I could remember that I wasn’t above anything. I knew what it is was like to not know better so why was I being so harsh about it?

Mirror

It was a mirror of what I used to be like. I didn’t like it in me so here I was putting someone down for it, even if it was just in my head. The irony.
