Am I Critical?

This question is one that we should all ask ourselves on a regular basis. I know that I am critical and judgemental sometimes and I don't even realize it until after the fact. It may be just a thought or something said, either way it's not pleasing to God. It's even detrimental to my relationship with God. Jesus addressed this subject in Matthew 7:1-5 (Amp. Trans). He said not to judge, criticize, and condemn others, so that you aren't judged, criticized, and condemned yourself. He goes on to say that we shouldn't be this way because it will come back on us(vs2) and it makes us hypocrits(vs5). In vs 4 Jesus asks how can we correct anyone for something small when we don't deal with the big things in our own life(ex.pride, self-righteousness, etc). We're all only righteous because of what Jesus did for us on the cross (2 Cor.5:21). God so loved all of us that He sent Jesus into the world to love and save us, not judge, condemn or criticize (John 3:17). His love includes believing the best in others (1 Cor.13:7; 1 john 4:7-17 please look up). There is a place for correction but if it is done in Christ's love, it will be easier for that person to accept. We must be gentle and forgiving(Colossians 3:13) . The goal is to help each other to get close to God. Love, love, love!! It never fails (1 cor. 13:8).
