The hardest thing for a lot of us Christians to do is to see ourselves. We focus on the speck that's in someone else's life, but can't see the plank in ours. This is why it is so important that we not measure ourselves by looking at the lives of others because we will always appear to be living a better spiritual life than someone else (Luke 18:9-14) until we look through the eyes of the Word of God. If we humbly align ourselves to the word of God we will quickly see that we STILL have a long, long way to go to be like the Lord!
