I really, really, REALLY do not like times in my life where those around me think they have me all figured out. I know I that do this to people too and I'm trying to do it less, but it is something I really still do not like.
We've been talking in one of my classes lately about how man is made in the image of God. One thing I have been thinking about is how we as humans cannot fully know God or the hows and whys of what he does. And if we are truly made in the image of God, aren't there going to be things about us that cannot fully be understood by another human.
Of course God sees all of us and understands us but, what about others? Other humans cannot know the 'hows' or 'whys', other humans cannot know the intentions of my heart, unless I tell them. I include myself as a recipient in this next piece of advice.
Stop acting like you know everything.
Because you don't.
I have my moments(as stated above) that I think I got someone all figured out and that I understand their motives and goals, but I am finding more and more that this form of judging(cause that's what it is) is totally destroying my opportunities for sharing the love of Christ for others. When I'm doing this I am unintentionally trying to hinder God's work in my own and other people's lives. Which is sin.
I love God and I'm trying to live like I say I believe. Praise God for new relizations.
