Every Knee Shall Bow

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young women sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside to dry. "That laundry is not very clean; she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looks on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hangs her wash to dry , the young women makes the same comments.

A month later, the woman is surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and says to her husband "Look, she's finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband replies, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." 

 And so it is with life.... What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: "As surely as I live," says the Lord,
"Every knee will bow before me; Every tongue will acknowledge God." So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Romans 14: 10-12
