Luke 18: 9

  9 And he spake this parable unto certain

which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,

and despised others:

The better way is to trust in God that through Jesus you will be made righteous, recognizing your daily fallibility, and to look past sins to love the goodness in others, knowing that Christ can also make them whole. But how empowering to know that Christ specifically looked to teach the people like me with this fault! He wants us to learn and to become better.

When you look at other people, exercise your faith that Christ can make them Whole. Then ponder what He would have told them about their healing power, refusing to take credit Himself: “Thy faith hath made thee whole.”
