From the store of goodness.

Often what annoys us in others is what we don’t like to face in ourselves. We can be quick to judge or criticise but fail to see the plank in our own eye. These shortcomings can be made worse if we voice our criticisms to others. Even if others are not perfect, how we respond should come from a forgiving and positive attitude towards them. As Jesus says today, “A good person draws what is good from the store of goodness in their heart.”
