We Are All Broken

Boy, we are so quick to judge others and call them out.  And we do it in the name of "calling it out for the sake of making the truth be known". Here's what I think.  God doesn't need me to fight on His behalf.  God doesn't need me to convict others of their faults, in the effort to change them or their beliefs.  God doesn't even need me to shout out truth, especially if I'm going to do it in a spirit of "so there".  God can fight his own battles, and He does.  The Spirit does a pretty darn good job at convicting me of my sin; I'm assuming He does the same for others.  And as for changing people or their opinions, I'm going to leave that to the power of Jesus in people.  I'm going to let God do His job and keep my nose out of it.  It doesn't mean that I won't speak truth to people or try to help others understand who God is, WHEN THEY ASK, but it does mean that I'm not going to stand on the mountaintop and shout out all of the imperfections I see in everyone else because, frankly, I don't want anyone to do that to me.  We are all broken.  Get over it and let God do something about your own brokenness.  That's all. ;-)
