Why do I keep making assumptions and judging people and situations, no matter how often and how dramatically the Lord reveals to me how wrong I am?
Recently, it was in such a convicting way, I felt wrecked by remorse at the thoughts of condemnation I had been harboring about a friend and playing over and over in my mind.
Not only did He open my eyes to how off base my thoughts had been, but He also reminded me that even if I had been right--which I had not-- it was none of my business anyway. It was between Him and her.
I know that I know that I know that things are not always what they seem, and that only the Lord sees the whole picture and knows what is in a person's heart. I also know that the enemy comes to steal and kill and destroy, and that he is a master of pushing our buttons to get us to believe his lies. And yet, I did it again. I made three faulty assumptions in one day. Albeit, this time, without letting them disturb my peace of mind.
That, at least, is progress in the right direction.
