Boxed In by Hypocrisy
You ever had a conversation with a hypocrite? You know that person that acts like judge and jury over everyone else? They think they are the expert on everything. And yet it’s obvious to you and most everyone else that they do the very thing they condemn others for doing. They’re boxed in by hypocrisy which keeps them from loving others.
What is hard to admit is that we are often the hypocrite. We tend to judge everyone else by their actions but ourselves by our intentions. Usually our judgement comes from an insecure place as we blindly seek superiority and fool ourselves into believing we are better than we really are.
Too often we forget our desperate need for mercy from God (and others). Jesus warns against hypocrisy by remembering the generous gift of mercy and forgiveness we’ve been given from our Heavenly Father. As you made your most costly mistake, he met you with mercy. In the face of your most epic failure, he forgave.
Question: Where might your judgment of others be keeping you from loving them like Jesus loves you?
