A friend sent me this interesting story, which I thought I should relay here on my life guarantee. Hope you, my dear visitor, will learn something from it.

"There lived a new and young couple in a neighbourhood. One day as they were having breakfast seated by the window, the young woman looked through the window, and saw another woman at the opposite block spread clothes she had washed on the line to dry. The young lady looked intently at the clothes, to her amazement, the clothes looked dirty yet the other woman spread them to dry. Not being able to hold it to herself, she made it known to her husband to drwa his attention like any other wife would do. But, the husband kept quiet and paid no much attention. The next day, the same thing happened and each time the young lady made the same comments. After one month, the story changed, when they were again having their breakfast at the same venue, she again looked through the window, and full of smiles she told her husband, wow, today she has managed to wash her clothes clean enough. The husband smile back, and said, this morning I woke up and cleaned up the window, that is why you are able to see things clearly. The young lady felt ashamed and guilty of the wrong accusations she has been making for the last one month."

Hope you have enjoyed the story and somehow it has made you either smile or wonder. All the feelings you are having now are correct, I think I had my share of it, too. However, there was something else that I learned about this story, besides keeping our windows clean so that we can see clearly. Together with me, if you have a Bible, let us open Mathew 7:1-5 - Do not judge so that you will not be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. To me this particular scripture explains or discusses the whole story. Many of us rush to make wrong judgements prior to checking our own lives. In most cases, when we look critically into our lives, just like the young lady, we are clothed in shame and guilt in the end discovering who really we are. However, this does not mean we should always keep quiet when something gruesome is going on in our amidst. The lesson is, don't rush to judge others by what you see when you are not sure whether your vision is good enough to see clearly. Let us get rid of the small dirts/sins in our lives show that we can lead others to do the right thing.

Friends, hope this has made mean for you. Best regards.
