Grace and mercy go hand in hand, particularly when we are faced with the shortcomings of others. 

In this lesson, entitled "Pursuing God's Blueprint",  Jennifer discusses how quickly we can become judgmental of others, often ignoring our own sins and faults in the process.  Addressing this issue of pride, Jesus asks "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"  Topics Need Help Removing That 2 x 4? and Stone Foundation guide us in refocusing our thoughts by using God's blueprint for our lives so that we are  better equipped to avoid the snare of hypocrisy, apply God's principles and build--or rebuild--healthy relationships. 

In order to become more like Jesus, we, too, must show grace and mercy to others, as He has shown to us.
