Luke 13:1-9 - Value People, Bear Fruit
Sometimes I am guilty of measuring myself by what I think I see in other people. When I do this, I am falling short in two ways. First, I'm judging others, and second, I'm measuring myself by a smaller standard than God tells me to. The word says I am to "be holy, for HE is holy." Jesus is the standard I am to follow. I am to trust God to conform me to the image of Christ and not compare myself to others or judge them, but allow God to work in them as well.
Father, Master Gardener, please dig a trench around me.
Fertilize me with your word, let me drink it in.
Help me bear good fruit for you, increase my witness, Lord.
Let me not judge others; and instead, confess my own sin.
