Dwelling on Other's Sins

Something kind of minor happened recently (it did involve me), but I've just let it get to me. 
I kept dwelling on it.  Why...? 

This morning I looked up and my eyes landed on this post-it note above my desk. 
I thought, So true!  
And I decided to post it on facebook.  But as I did... I realized my own sins.  I have many. 

I haven't even prayed for this person. 😞
My sin may be different than theirs, but I still sin! 
Had I even examined my own heart recently? 
--Their sin was bothering me more than my own!! 😞

I had my eyes on them, not on the Lord.  When we have our eyes on things around us instead of the Lord, we sink. (Peter walking on the water).

I was reading this chapter when I had noticed the post-it, and then read this verse:
Psalm 41:4 KJV
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.  

I need to be asking the Lord to show *me what *I have done, areas *I need to work on! 

Psalm 69:5 KJV
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

Psalm 19:12 KJV
...cleanse thou me from secret faults.
