judge not ... trust as love

Figuring out your spiritual gifts is one answer to my post below. I would encourage anyone and everyone to do so. I'm still working on mine.

New favorite songs:
When the Saints by Sara Groves
Dead and Gone by TI/Justin Timberlake
Gimme Dat by The Ambassador
By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North

I'm starting to realize that people are very different from me. They make different decisions and say different things every day. But that's okay. That doesn't make them wrong. Who am I to think I know everything? Do I think myself as perfect? Far from it. Hmm. We would probably be better off if we all just left judging to Jesus. (kinda like checking the log in your own eye first ...)

It all goes back to trust. Trusting Him to judge and convict, and really in every area of our lives. Do we really trust the infinite, holy, perfect, omnicient, good, loving, true God we serve or do we act like spoiled children when we don't get our way or feel wronged? Choosing to trust is an act of love from us to Him. I like that. I trust Him more than myself, that's for sure. I'm all screwed up.

So I take what He gives in trust, pray for things, then ask Him to not give me what I want but what I need. And then He answers ........ and then I want Him to leave me alone cause those lessons are hard to learn. Any of that make sense?

Basically, Jesus is good. He's proved it over and over. When will we learn?
