"He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more. He overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it. When our virtues become more mature, we shall not be more tolerant of evil; but we shall be more tolerant of infirmity, more hopeful for the people of God, and certainly less arrogant in our criticisms."
-C.H. Spurgeon

I read this, and was very strongly convicted. I struggle with this, and it often leads to problems in relationships. I pray that God would help rid me of this, so that I can live a more God-pleasing life.
