Judging Others

Have you ever judged others? I know I have....sometimes it seems like it's a daily occurence. I find myself saying this person shouldn't be doing this or can you believe this person did that? I mean, I wouldn't have done it THAT way! The list goes on and on.
Jesus talked about how we're worried about the speck in someone else's eye when we have a plank in our own eye. How true this is. I am the furthest thing from perfect....all you have to do is ask my wife. Seriously, I am not perfect. None of us are. So what gives? Why am I constantly judging others when I should be focused on my mistakes? Does it make me feel better to say, "I can't believe they are doing that"? Does this one thing make me feel like my shortcomings are ok? Maybe.
The day will come when Jesus will judge us by the same measure we judged others... I need to make a change today!! It's time to get focused on what I need to be doing differently and not so worried about everyone else in the world. How much better would we all be if we were able to focus on our own issues and not everyone else's? Can you imagine how happy we would all be?
