On Bearing with the Faults of Others
We want them to be perfect, yet we do no correct our own faults.
We wish them to be serverely corrected, yet we will not correct ourselves.
Their great liberty displeases us, yet we would not be denied what we ask.
We would have them bound by laws, yet we will allows to be restrained by in nothing.
It is clear how seldom we think of others as we do of ourselves.
If we were perfect, what should we have to suffer from others for God's sake? But God has so ordained that we may learn to bear with one another's burdens.
Consier it better perhaps to try your patience and to test you, for without such patience and trial, your merits are of little account.
Definitely applicable after last weeks fiascos. It brings new meaning to 'bear another's burdens'.
