Craig T. Owens

Psychologists call it “projection” when I see so quickly in others what’s really in myself.

If I see sin in others, my first response would be to hit my knees and ask the Holy Spirit to search me to point out the same sin in myself. 

It’s only after confessing my sin and receiving God’s complete forgiveness that I am equipped with the empathy and mercy to help someone else find the same freedom I have found. 

Lord, may I be more sensitive to the sin in my life than I am aware of the sin in the world.
