Judging Others

Matthew 7:1-5

Others judge not and you won't be judged,
For it's just a sign of you being begrudged;
Your judgment of others will also judge you,
Before judging others, to yourself be true;
You can see a speck in someone else's eye,
But not even notice in your own a horsefly;
Just how are you able to remove the speck,
When the horsefly in your own left uncheck;
A hypocrite is what you are trying to be,
Airing your dirty laundry for us all to see;
With having the nerve for another critique,
When your own windows still have a streak;
Take the horsefly out of yours beforehand,
Then the speck, able to meet the demand;
It's not us to judge a sister or brother,
That's a something for our Heavenly Father;
Treat others how you wish to be treated,
You won't be so paranoid, feeling defeated;
Showing others more towards the kindness,
God will shower you with more blessedness;
