Thou hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew 7:5

Matthew 10 says we can look like the best Christians.. But BE NOTHING in the eyes of God because we do not have charity!..

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

I was the person of which Brother Tozer is speaking.. I was right about all my doctrine and knowledge.. but had no charity in my heart.. I lacked humility.. I did not see the beams in mine own eye... I was saved.. But still so proud.. I needed brokenness..

The Lord took much away from me in a very short time of 3 years... A fine home ,.. Great health,.. My dear grandmother and mentor,.. My father died of cancer here in my home as I cared for him ....and finally my husband wanted to not be married to a Christian anymore.....he divorced me, after I had given up my career to be a stay at home wife and mother.. I had nothing to go back to...
.it was like a death..
I was brought so low I was on my face for days just wanting to die.. Had no one to turn to.. Except Him.. ( that was His plan!)
It was when I finally just bowed my head and said Thy will be done.. Whatever it is.. Thy will be done.. Change ME.. Not everyone else.. CHANGE ME Lord!!.. I was directed to read Matthew 18 .... And I saw myself plainly as the unforgiving servant.. I had been a dead rotten sinner that the Lord saved.. And I was critical of others??!! Who did I think I was?!!..
The Lord showed me it is a great evil it is to Him to be ungrateful and critical. He looks upon the heart.. Who was I to be anything but a grateful forgiving servant!?!?..When we finally see ourselves for the sinful dust that we are.. The wretched vile dead rotting thing that we were before the Lord made us alive in Christ ,we will never be as grateful as we should be.. And will not be as humble as we should be.. What others do is GOD'S BUSINESS... MY business is to trust and obey.. Keeping my eyes on Him.. And being filled with the fruit of the spirit!.. May I add that so many want to call Charity "love".. But if that is what He wanted to say.. He would have said it.. Charity is how we behave even to people we do not love.. It is gratefulness in action! It is humility in action! It is serving everyone as unto the Lord!.. For His glory!... I hope this helps...may the Lord bless us both to be emptied of self and filled with His mercy.. His grace,.. His tenderness...His longsufffering spirit!. Remembering if not for God's grace.. We would be worse than everyone we know... May the Lord keep us so humble we are irresistible to Him.. May He fill us with the fruit of His spirit!..and empty us of every bit of self in us! May He transform us into His image! To His glory!
I am so very grateful for all the Lord took from me He gave me more of Himself!!.. I wouldn't trade one affliction for all the lessons I learned..
