COMMENTS:
When we rush to pass judgment on others, it is often a sign that we need to take a moment for introspection. It is not that we should stay silent when a loved one is caught in wrongdoing.
However, we must ensure that our own deficiencies do not hinder us from providing genuine and constructive assistance.
When we are blinded by our own faults, we run the risk of causing more harm to those we aim to help.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank You for Your deep well of forgiveness. Please search my heart and reveal any sins to confess even as I prepare to intervene in my loved one’s situation.
