Self righteous judgements reflect our easy choice to judge others, less worthy than we.
Jesus faced the wrath of the pharisaical mindset daily, when ever He addressed those who assumed they were God's chosen people.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is no righteous man on earth who always does good and never sins.
Today's readings invite us to consider our own very real flaws concealed from the view of others.
Humility is the foundation of our faithfulness in God's redeeming life,
transforming us into all that He has planned for our journey of self discovery when we surrender our life into His loving care.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
end
