Reminder to us all...
We say we want to see change in this world. I see posts all the time about "be kind because you have know idea what someone is going through" but then I see those same people (and yes I have done it myself. I'm flawed) ridicule and blast others for a difference of opinion, a difference in how they raise their children, whether or not they stay in a marriage, etc etc. And we keep going round and round.
We've all been on the receiving end of that pointed finger and been made to feel like we're stupid, worthless, bad, (insert your own here) and we've ALL been the giver of those feelings to others. (I'm sorry to burst your bubble but its true)
From both sides of this, here's what we need to remember.....
NOT ONE PERSON KNOWS EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE EXCEPT YOU!!!
YOU are the only person who has been there for ever second of your life.
YOU are the only person who has had to endure the exact battles that you've had to endure.
YOU are the only person who's experienced YOUR life exactly the way you have.
Which means YOU are the expert on YOU!
Not your mother or father, not your siblings, not your kids, not your pastor or even your best friend....
ONLY YOU!
So stop allowing others to tell you how you should or shouldn't feel and take responsibility for your OWN life and actions! Because that is the person you will have to live with most for the rest of your life!
And yes..... BE KIND!! And remember, just like no one knows your complete story, you don't know ANYONE ELSE'S complete story!
Give grace and you'll receive grace!
Have a beautiful Friday!
God bless you and keep you!
