When you see people stuck where you used to be, pray for them.  Do not judge them.  You matured past where they are, so be patient with them.  The Lord who brought you out is bringing them out.  Do not rush the process.  Do not think green fruit will not ripen.  Do not judge spotted fruit.  Pray for them.  Love them like someone loved you.  Encourage them on the right road.  Someday they may pass you.  If they do, you will rejoice and be glad.   

“My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” Galatians 6:1a (NRSV)
