             Day 3             Read: Luke 6:36-42
        
         “How easily I could be a Christian, if only the
         people around me would give me a break!
        
           ---if my husband would be a little more
              understanding...
           ---if my wife would stop complaining...
           ---if my boss would get “off my back”...
        
         How we like to blame our weak faith and stumbling
         lives on other people!
        
         Friend, your brother’s fault can never keep you
         from being a Christian.     
              His fault isn’t causing the trouble!
              His fault is only a tiny speck
                                a mote  
                                a splinter.
        
         The fact that you get so annoyed,
         The fact that his fault causes you to lose your
         peace, is proof that you have more than a
         splinter in your eye:
        
                   You’ve got a beam - a rafter.
        
         The beam in your eye which is causing you so much
         trouble
              is an attitude
              a merciless attitude
                   toward those folks who have
                   the specks and splinters.
         Get rid of that beam in your eye      
              then you will see clearly enough not
              to stumble over other people’s specks
              and splinters.
