You are no better than anyone

A friend told me a story this morning through a series of comments. He was frustrated because he had the feeling that one of our co-workers thought he was better than himself. He told me that his father always used to tell him "no matter how smart you think you are, there is always someone who knows more than you do, and there is always someone who knows something that you don't". This is so true. It may be easy for someone to pass judgment on that bum lying in the gutter, but I guarantee that man knows much more than any of us ever will about how to survive, and stretch thirty five cents over an entire day. Or the single mother who had a child out of wedlock, I bet she is more organized and able to multitask better than most of the CEOs in America. It is easy for any of us to pass judgment, but let us remember that there is but One who can pass judgment, Our Father.

Trust

So... so. God has been speaking to me very loudly lately and I have decided he knows better than I do. I have been living my life with him by my side but still using that ability of free will he gave me. I need to accept that he knows better than I do and I have submitted. It is causing me pain, those of you who know know, but I am taking this as his path and I am following. I have been blessed by having some very special people around me and this will help. This will heal. I know that there are some very bright points on the horizon ahead and to get to them I must take one step at a time. The journey may not always be the easiest, smoothest path but at the end He knows where I should be. And I am trusting that.
