When we look at people, we tend to like some and dislike others. We measure things, situations and people by the value that we have. So this is how we should go about things from here on.

See people through the eyes of God and Jesus Christ. Stop looking at people by our own eyes. Our eyes judge by our values but the eyes of God and Jesus have values of LOVE and COMPASSION and GRACE.

In order to see the world through God's eyes, we must first nurture our relationship with God. Reading God's word will help enlighten our hearts. We must focus on growing into a deeper walk and improve our love relationship with God. When that happens, we will NATURALLY display love and grace. We cannot tell ourselves to give more grace when we have no capacity or we don't know what grace is. When our relationship, and that is a love relationship, with God deepens, it will naturally permeate our lives, your life.

So how should we do it? Remove the plank from our own eye first. Focus on our love relationship with God first. He will help us remove the plank from our own eye. For everything wrong we now see in others, there must be a dozen things worse in ourselves. Let us focus on ourselves and our relationship with Jesus. Do not get the order wrong. First ourselves, then others.

This is probably not new to you. But are you doing it? If you are still being judgemental, you have to keep praying and build that love relationship with God. If you don't know, you have to keep praying and build that love relationship with God. Soon, in God's time, you will know how to see the world through His eyes and not yours. And then, peace and grace will come through you and we will leave the judgements to God.

Perhaps then, the world may become a little better because of what God is doing through you and I, when we focus on our love relationship with Him and become less judgemental and more gracious towards others. We should be focusing on the "plank" in our eyes rather than the "speck" in the eyes of others.
