Pointing Fingers

  Sometimes we all like to think that we are fairly close to perfect. But the truth is, we really aren't. Not one single person on this earth today is even near being perfect. Every one of us struggles with sins and mistakes, therefore revealing that we are zillions of miles away perfection. The reality is that though we tend to look past our own sins, we are being consumed by them as we speak and breathe. Our own sins are devouring our minds as we point out the sins in others. Why is it so hard for us to see that as we are equal people, our sins are also equal? No person is farther away from sin and closer to perfection than another. This is the fact- each one of us, deep down inside, knows that we are all filled with sin, but we are simply too afraid to admit it. We tend to think that our sins are so unforgivable, which turns us to pointing out the sins in others to make our own sins seem lighter. Sometimes, for some reason, we simply feel better about ourselves after looking down at others. Pointing our fingers at others can give us that good feeling inside. How do we constantly fail to see that when we point our finger at others, we have three fingers pointing back at ourselves? We need to realize that Jesus forgives sins- all sins. No matter what, no matter how shallow or deep our sins may seem, a sin is a sin. And Jesus is here to forgive them all. Even though it is hard to look at our own sin and easier to point out the failures in others, we must remember that He came to this earth to save and forgive.
