Humility
I'm not sure what your experience has been, but I've bumped into more than a few Christians over the years who regularly express moral outrage at not only "the big issues" on the cultural landscape, but also at the little ones too. In fact, I have had a rather regular encounter with a fusspot I meet in the mirror every day. But I recently read something both simple and profound from a man who always scratches my itch and anoints it with the healing balm of compassionate wisdom. His name is Brennan Manning.
Reflecting on Peter's words to "wrap yourselves in humility" (1 Peter 5:5) Manning writes: THE HUMBLE MAN IS SURPRISED BY ALL THE GOOD THAT HE SEES AROUND HIM RATHER THAN BEING SCANDALIZED BY WHAT HE CANNOT JUDGE ANYWAY.
I've put it on my wall, right behind my computer screen. Maybe I'll stick it on my mirror too.
