Practise what you preach..

It is so easy for us to point out other people's mistake to them and capitalise on all the wrong things that they do. We tend to notice people's faults and then chide them consistently. The truth is most times we are actually guity of all those things without even realising it, either because they are now a part of our everyday life or because we're just unwilling to change. In reality, we'll notice that when people talk to us about something, we might have noticed that same thing in them first, and then they accuse us of the same thing then we get confused and begin to wonder why they can do it, but we can't. The truth is that it is easier for us all to play the judge and point out all the things that people do wrong rather than being the recipient of such correction.
We really need to start doing all the things that we tell others to do and not be the sort of preachers that are so gifted and can speak but fall short of their own standards. People should be able to shape their lives after our actions and not just our words. We need a change in our general orientation, we must not be so taken up with removing the speck in other people's eyes that we refuse to see the huge logs in ours. If we'll be of any help to anybody, we must first work on ourselves, remove the logs carefully, then proceed to help others.
Hypocrisy creates a false shelter for those who seek the easy way out, they feel safe and believe no one would be the wiser, but it soon fades out and they'll soon find out that you can only fool people for so long. So, the word for today is, practise what you preach and the world would be a better place for us all to live in. SHALOM.
