Week 47, Thursday

Don't

Thursday. Matt. 18: 15-22.

Unwise criticism is the commonest and most hurtful thing in life, next to sin. Its acid touch burns and blights everywhere. Jesus gives us here the simple love-law of criticism; this: Never criticize anyone, with four quahfications: (i) except to help; (2) then alone with the person concerned; (3) then only from your knees and on your knees; and (4) in the spirit of utmost humility and persistent forgiving love. When that fails personal responsibility ends. But — ‘’love never faileth.”
