Analysis of When We Stand at God's Throne



One of the biggest errors we often make,
is thinking we’re incapable of the same mistake.

We have two eyes that don’t always see,
and a mouth that says, “it’ll never happen to me.”

A sister was caught committing a sin;
a brother mocked her, then it happened to him.

A brother sinned; he fell astray;
his sister fell the very next day.

Take the beam out of your eye;
don't judge your sister if you don't comply.

Examine yourself before your brother,
forgive and try your best to love one another.

When we stand at God's throne,
we'll be judged by God and Him alone.
