Helping each other grow, a direction for our times

I am reading this book Direction for our Times, Volume One. And came across this beautiful part that I thought I would share. "Jesus asks us to focus on people's strengths and attributes, rather than their flaws. Shining a light on someone's good qualities is like sunshine on plants. It makes them grow. If we focus on their flaws, or negative qualities, it has the same effect in a negative way. We must practice being supportive and not critical, even in the face of the faults of others."  I had to highlight this in my book because it is a lesson I need to remember and focus on.
