"Therefore look gently on men,
And even more gently on women.
Although they may go a little wrong,
Do not condemn them.
Above all consider not merely what they have done,
But why.
God alone has the power to look into a human heart,
To judge actions and motives and regrets.
He alone knows not only what one has done and why,
But what one has resisted doing and why–
Man's responsibility is to forgive:
Only God has the authority to judge."
-Robert Burns
I am so grateful I came across this quote tonight. Really needed it at the time. Still do. Just another reminder to me that the Lord is mindful of what I need each and every day, even when I don't know it.
