Boom! Finding fault is not a work of the Holy Spirit. It is not a spiritual gift. It is neither inspired by God nor led by God. Finding fault is the product of fear, low self-worth, and anger. It is a vain attempt to end pain by controlling and forcing others to change. It is the source of more conflict and lost love than almost any other factor. Our attempts to fix each other are killing us! The proof is obvious. Our attempts never work, but we refuse to consider the board in our own eye and continue to search for the sawdust in the eyes of others. Even when change truly is needed, transformation doesnt happen by focusing on what is wrong. Everything we know about human behavior tells us that people are transformed into whatever holds their attention. People who are focused on their faults never escape those faults. God wants you to know that the sin problem was settled by the finished work of Jesus. He wants you to know that, through faith and that finished work, you can be empowered in Gods righteousness to be who God says you are. Dr. Jim Richards - how to stop the pain
