A Kiss from Rose | CHECK YOUR OWN VISION FIRST

💥 Don’t try to do eye surgery on others while you’re walking around with a log in yours.

📖 Matthew 7:3 (KJV)

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

🔥 What This Really Means:

👀 You Saw The Speck—But Missed the Plank.

It’s easy to critique, harder to correct yourself.

🧹 You Can’t Clean Their House While Yours is Still Dusty.

Judgment without reflection is hypocrisy with makeup.

⚖️ This Is Not a Call to Silence—It’s a Call to Surrender.

Yes, you can hold others accountable… after you’ve let God hold you first.

💡 Let’s Break It Down:

• The “mote” = their small flaw.

• The “beam” = your big, obvious one.

• The message = check your heart before checking someone else’s life.

🔍 Think About It:

• Have I prayed about myself before posting about someone else?

• Am I correcting with love—or controlling from ego?

• Do I want to help them grow, or do I just want to be “right”?

🚫 Let’s Be Clear:

This verse doesn’t mean you can’t speak truth…

It means your truth-telling should be soaked in humility, healing, and Holy Spirit guidance—not superiority.

🙌🏽 PRAYER:

Lord,

Help me see myself clearly before I try to see others critically.

Remove the beams of bitterness, pride, judgment, and insecurity from my heart.

Teach me to lead with grace, not gossip.

When I speak, let it be from a place of restoration—not retaliation.

Give me divine vision to look inward before I look around.

And help me walk like Jesus—not just talk like Him.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

💌 GRANDMA’S NOTE:

You can’t point fingers with dirty hands.

Wipe your own lenses first… then maybe God will call you to help someone else see.
