Verse of the Day

We all love playing referee in someone else’s life. Pointing out fouls. Blowing the whistle. Wagging a finger. It makes us feel a little better about our own mess when we call out someone else’s. But Paul wrecks that illusion. He reminds us: judging others doesn’t make us right—it just makes us blind to our own need for grace.

Truth is, we’re all in the same boat. Same struggle. Same sin-stained humanity. And grace? It wasn’t handed out to the best performers. It was poured out on all of us—equally messy, equally loved.

So if grace saved you, what are you doing wielding judgment like a sword? Lay it down. Look in the mirror. Then look around. Everyone you’re tempted to judge? They’re just as desperate for mercy as you once were. And still are.

Grace doesn’t just forgive you. It humbles you. And it teaches you to see people not as projects to fix—but as souls to love.
