KEEP A BALANCED PERSPECTIVE
The more you look up to God,
the less you will look down on people.
Have you ever noticed how poorly people treat each
other? We've all been there. We've all said something dis-
paraging about another driver who cut us off in traffic. We've
all read an article about some unfortunate soul and said, "He
got what he deserved."
Why are we so quick to look down on other people?
Is it because there's no other way to make ourselves feel
better? that can be it, because when it comes to others, the
only way to improve our lives is to help them.
No, we think it has more to do with God. The less
time we spend learning to know God and what He wants us
to do, the more time we have to criticize others. On the other
hand, the more we invite God into the details of our lives,
the more likely we will be to encourage and lift up other
people rather than tear them down.
