Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy

Ver los errores de los demás es bastante fácil para la mayoría de nosotros. Encontrar nuestros errores nos resulta más difícil. Jesús nos recuerda que debemos tratar nuestros errores y pecados antes de instruir a los demás en cómo vivir. Bastante sencillo ¿no? Pero todos sabemos que no es así.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Jesus reminds us in his Sermon on the Mount about a destructive sin that often afflicts his followers: trying to deflect our guilt by finding fault in others. Finding fault with someone else is all too easy for most of us. Finding fault in ourselves is much trickier. Jesus reminds us that we must deal with the shortcomings and sins in our own lives before we start telling others how to live their life. Deflection, blaming, and finding fault are destructive to our allegiance to the Lord and our desire to honor him. So, let's confess our sins (James 5:16) and not find fault in others (Matthew 7:1-2). Seems pretty simple. But we all know it isn't. So, dear friend of Jesus, let's pray for the Holy Spirit's help to be gracious and forgiving toward others, and humbly confess our faults to one another.

Mi oración

Padre, perdóname cuando soy severo al juzgar a los demás. Sé que tengo problemas en mi propia vida que necesitan la obra de tu Espíritu Santo. Confieso que tengo pecados de hábito que siempre trato de justificar. Te pido, Señor Amado, que perdones mis pecados y que me des poder para vencerlos. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.

My Prayer...

Father, please forgive me because I have sometimes been severe, harsh, and judgmental toward others. I am aware that there are issues in my own life that I need to address with the guidance of your Holy Spirit. I confess that there are routine sins that I often excuse in myself. Please, dear Lord, forgive my sins of deflecting my guilt by blaming others and finding fault in others. Please empower me to move beyond it to become a more gracious and redemptive disciple of Jesus. Amen.
