Matthew 7:1-6 Giving Advice
Another area of motivation that is addresssed by Jesus is that of giving out your thoughts and oppinions. And we love to give our thoughts and oppinions, but what is our motivation behind it? Is it to make us feel better about ourselves, to feel better than the other person whether it is blantant judgmental snobbery or just trying to help?
If the motivation is truly because we love, then we will be thoughtful and concerned that we come humbly (I don't have it all down pat either) and come truly helpful (to truly help is to work on my own junk with God).
Wisdom also dictates who you spend your time and enrgy on in giving wisdom. Give to those who are humble and desire to grow and be righteous.
