Purified Vision

 Spiritual people especially must be careful how they regard others. If we have been purified and cleansed, we may be even more capable than others of "mote" beholding (seeing the fault in another's eye), UNLESS we are daily abiding in the love of the Son of God. That is because our vision will be given greater focus and power. We must keep our lenses softened by the waters of compassion and love, otherwise the mote in our eye would become hawkish rather than discerning. May we be quick to see our own speck before it becomes like the plank that crucified the Son and destroys our neighbor.
