You'll See What You'll See

Jerri used to be driving down the road and then when she noticed I was watching her, cuz yes I did, she was beautiful and my wife...well, I'd see her right eye closed and she'd appear to be driving blind! We'd be coming up to a stopped car and she'd wait longer than normal to brake...she got me with that every single time! See y'all, to my eye and my way of thinking, she was actually driving blind! Since I can only really see out of my right eye it never occurred to me that she still had one eye open!! I'd be freaking out beside her while the kids played along with her from the backseat. Most the time our perspectives on people are only surface deep. We see how they talk or act and come to conclusions based on those facts. Do you realize many people are only acting like Christians just like Jerri acted like she drove blind? 1 Samuel 16:7 says" But the LORD said to Samuel ' Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance , but the LORD looks at the heart'." As we travel down the road of life, we may see many to our left and right who seem to have life all figured out, or maybe they're struggling just to get out of bed, yet we don't see their struggles because they put on a front. We can't see the secret sin, the addiction, lust, bitterness, or unforgivness that resides deep inside them. Be on your guard my beloved friends so that we don't pass judgment on the people we come in contact with daily! The moment we judge, is the moment we ourselves will be judged by the same measure! The Apostle Paul said to work out your salvation with fear and trembling ( Philippians 2:12). As I said in an earlier post, ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and root out any sin. We must be wiling to allow the sin to be cut off, torn out root and all! Stay in the Word y'all! And may the Lord our God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you!
