 At times, actions, attitudes, thoughts, or habits are allowed into our lives. These things are either unnoticed or, if they are noticed, tolerated until they are a part of us. These things are not so much excused by us as they are invisible to us. It's like an author proofreading his own work. He reads right over the errors. It's only when someone else reads the work that the subtle or maybe obvious typos are found. The wise and mature Christian continuously judges himself.
