'Blind' Communication- Matt. 7:1-4 "1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?"
The moment we become judgmental and condemn other behaviours, it reflects that we are communicating in a self-blinded manner while others can easily see our blinded spot. Thus, the communication suffers because such communication will not really help build our characters, instead it reveals our poor motivation attempting to address some selfish interest.
Insightful Communication - Phili 2:3-4 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Insightful communication, on the other hand helps build our characters. As we are willingly to humble ourselves, we become insightful and have the wisdom to learn a lot more through other eyes. This also helps us excel in communication because others can see our genuine love. Jesus is an excellent role model for us.
