The Beam in My Own Eye

From Jacob de Jager's April 1983 "Higher Spirituality":

"The faults and shortcomings we see in the members of our own ward or branch are of less consequence to us than one of the smallest in ourselves."

I should observe myself with at least as harsh a light as I observe others. The shortcomings I find in others are just a reflection of the shortcomings I hate most in myself. When I find these shortcomings, I should recognize them and ask for His help to improve them.
