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.

We each have a different perspective. If we all look at the same orange, how many different things will be see. Perspective can also be limiting in that we beleive what we see. If we can learn to see from another's perspective, we gain understanding. Good post.
ReplyDeleteWell said, baby brother. God is really speaking to your heart. It is always good to look at the bigger picture, but it is when we look deeper that we begin to see things through our creator's eyes. He places people in our paths in order for us to learn and appreciate their situations. We all have a lesson or two to learn, but there is only One that will always be better. May we strive to be at least a little more like Him every day.
