Afterward the whole family went to eat at Cracker Barrel. It was delicious. I had the vegetable plate with green beans, carrots, peas, and tossed salad. OH BOY was it delicious. NO pancakes for me!
A great time was had by all!
Revelation Knowledge: Matthew 7:3, And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Critical Eyes:
We all know people who just like to criticize. It seems that no matter what you do, this person finds critical errors in what you say, how you diet, how you dress, where you live...and the list goes on and on...
Even the nicest and seemingly happy person can have trouble with someone who finds faults or has objective opinions about everything and everyone around them.
Maybe that person with the critical eyes is you? However, if your Christian character is strong, then you can stop the fault finding and seeing the world through critical eyes through spending time in the Word and walking in the Love of Christ. Jesus will help you to reverse the vision of criticism that you might be harboring. If you're seeing the 'critical side' too often and constantly 'finding faults' in your circumstances OR with other people, then its time to take another look. This time you need to take a look at yourself! It is vital to start with yourself when you're finding things to improve. Change starts with you and it begins from within your heart.
Now that you've been dieting, your appearance has probably changed. Some of you might only see small physical differences while others may see a dramatic physical changes. But these changes in your body are only on the surface; To truly be happy you have to change from within, starting with your heart. When you spend time in the Word you will find the only way to be truly happy. That is when your mindset and your attitude will change. TRUE beauty comes from within and from The Light that shines through your actions and your words. Simply changing on the outside will have no effect on your happiness or fulfillment unless you change on the inside, too. Only a heart that is focused on the Heavenly Father will be truly happy.
So the next time you start to have critical eyes over another person or your circumstances, STOP and turn your eyes towards your Heavenly Father and ask Him to show you the areas where you can change.
Prayer:
Thank you Father that you do not criticize, scrutinize, or find fault in me as I do with my circumstances or other people around me. Please forgive me for looking through the eyes of criticism and help me to truly see others through the eyes of Jesus. Please let me walk in His kindness, His forgiveness and most of all, HIS LOVE. ~AMEN!
