How many times have you started a sentence with those words?...."If it were me,...I'd.......fill in the blank." Do we really know what we would do if we were in someone else's shoes? Going threw their storm. NO!!!!! I used to use that phrase all the time until God revealed to me that using those words were nothing short of judging others. We don't know what we would do in a situation until we are actually the one weathering the storm. We are called to weather different storms in life I believe to make us stronger, better, more dependant (upon God) kind of people. Just remember, when you are down to nothing, God is up to something. Be careful not to judge someone with your words. Weather your own storm & leave everyone else to tend to theirs. Pray for whatever it is that God is trying to reveal to be revealed but don't judge.
I love The Message version of Matthew 7:1-2 which says Dont pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults--unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging.We all know what a boomerang is designed to do. It comes back to you. Just something to think about.
In love, Trish
