Sweep around Your Own Front Door
I grew up listening to quartet music. One group my father listened to all the time was The Williams Brothers. They had a song called Sweep around Your Own Front Door. Of course, the title could be misleading. Some people probably took it in the literal sense at first before hearing it. If you have not heard it before, I would encourage you listen to it. I would like to share some of the lyrics.
Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine.
That’s the chorus that I just shared with you. The song is telling you to look within yourself before you go judging others. We are quick to say what someone else is doing before we acknowledge all the wrong we have done and maybe doing right now. Take care of home, and even after you do that, it is still no reason for you to point out the wrong in someone else’s life.
God gives us grace each and every day. He knows what we will do before we even do it. God still loves us and blesses us regardless. If God does that for us, why can’t we do that for others? Just something to think about.
