The Impossible Stain

May 17, 2017

It was so frustrating! Apparently, overnight our relatively new faucet had developed some kind of water stain that looked terrible. After much scrubbing, I realized it was hopeless. There could be no doubt the stain was permanent.

Sighing, I put on my reading glasses for a closer look. Suddenly I burst out laughing! The faucet was reflecting the paisley shirt I was wearing! There was no stain there.

It set me thinking about how quick I am to see my own faults in others and try to correct them. I need to make sure I look at people through God’s lens. It will help me recognize where the real problem lies before I scrub away at others. — by Viki Rife, from Women of GraceUSA blog, Released
