Insights from Scripture
The teacher must not judge others. If we as teachers are going to help others, then we ourselves must keep our life in rigorous self-examination. A teacher who is blind to her own faults can hardly help others to see theirs.
A tree is commonly judged by its product; but on the other hand, the quality of the tree determines the kind of product. Deeds that are good and loving proceed from a generous, compassionate heart. The heart is the center of a person’s intelligent, volitional, emotional being. If a person is not right at the center of their being, then her deeds are wrong from the source. Even so-called good acts can be wrong if they are done for the wrong reason.
