God does the fixing and we are called to do the loving.
That doesn't mean we don't encourage and at times rebuke but it does mean that if I'm doing it to make myself feel better or to vindicate myself then I'm not showing grace.
I can't judge anyone's motives but my own. I know I fail at this often and I know I want to stop failing at it. True spiritual growth comes when we stop trying to fix each other and we let God do the fixing.
