  • Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

  • “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
        “return to me with all your heart,
    with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
    13     and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
    Return to the Lord your God,
        for he is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
        and he relents over disaster.Joel 2:12-13 (ESV)

 

  •  And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.Luke 9:23 (ESV)
