udging Others
1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
ACT OF LOVE #344: Took away some time to especially pray for me fellow seniors at BOL who are either appealing to schools or being waitlisted, or who simply don't know where they will be matriculating. Prayed for guidance and that schools would look favorably on their appeals/waitlisting statuses and that God would guide them to the college most suitable for them :)
Also, stayed up late to wait for the laundry to finish and folded my parents' laundry so they could sleep earlier <3
ACT OF LOVE #345: Spent a small chunk of my afternoon taking a walk with my mother and talking with her about college and Rice. She really enjoyed being able to take a stroll with me!
