There may be many things you think you need to correct or condemn in your family or friendships, and many of them do need to be corrected, but focus much more on what your family and friends are doing right, and the positive things about them WELL BEFORE you start condemning them. You should also LISTEN to them and respect them, because 1st, they deserve it, and 2nd, how would Christ treat you? Is he patient? Does he listen? Is he understanding? Is he MERCIFUL? Does he applaud you? Does he cheer for you? Mourn with you? Is he patient with your weakness? Does he push you harder than you're capable or harder than He should? Treat your family and friends the way Christ treats othes, for the way you treat others will be the way God treats you.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
