The Critic or the Friend

October 18, 2021      Amy Cady

I caught myself recently being critical of someone. Was there any need for me to be judging them? Nope. Maybe I was right, maybe I wasn’t but the truth is it doesn’t matter what I think. It matters what Heavenly Father thinks and He loves us all despite each one of our flaws. So I stopped myself and decided I’ll take my imperfections and try once more to be better. 🙂

It’s easy to be the critic.
It’s easy to be the crowd.
It’s easy to be a complainer.
It’s easy to be proud.
It’s harder to be different.
It’s harder to be kind.
It’s harder to look for the good
And embrace what you may find.

But at the end of the dusty road,
Or the end of one more day,
Someone will affected
By the words you chose to say.

So let the Savior be your guide
In everything you do.
Let him do the work to change your heart
From Hard to Something New.
Then little drop by little drop
Your life will change you see.
And if you quietly embrace it
Soon you’ll be who you’re meant to be.
