My first lesson:

“Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly] - Matthew 7: 1

This reminds me of my morning devotion today in Luke 15: 11- 32. Tyhe emphasis as it relates to the above verse is on v28-30 where the Elder brother (to the prodigal son) yearned abuses on the life of the younger. He displayed anger, jealousy, ignorance, bitterness and self-righteousness. To me, he never loved the younger brother. Sometimes we, like the elder brother despise the saving grace upon the life of a sinner. We wished we make heaven alone. God help us repent from this way.

My second lesson:

If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him - Matthew 7: 11.

Christ emphasized that if we returned to God and go to him with our tears, he will in no wise cast us away. This implies that our breakthrough and blessings is just a step away if we ask, seek and knock.
