Blind men have no business doing eye surgery

Luke 6:41-42
Reading a good book in the morning in addition to my Bible reading, it's called "The seven conflicts", written by Tim and Joy Downs. The subtitle is "Resolving the most common disagreements in marriage". The portion that I am currently in uses the scripture from Luke. It is so easy to spot the speck in someone else's eye. Without the aid of a mirror, it would be impossible to find a speck in your own eye. There is no way to turn the eye in on itself or to focus on anything so close. We look past the speck at the world around us, and the speck remains invisible - even if the speck is one that can cause serious harm. Jesus took it one further and said "take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly....." Jesus tells us to remember our own log, approach every conflict by first considering what part WE play in it. We live in a world of "justified self-centeredness". Wow, major application for life! I am still grasping at this and wrestling with it. The Lord has something very powerful and personal to say about this issue to all of us. "A deep awareness of our own forgiveness creates a genuine humility as we approach others. A forgiven person is a humble person, and no attitude is more productive when it comes to resolving conflict."
