Personal Revelation

Recently I have learned the following truths; some discouraging, some enlightening, some encouraging:

A man's (or woman's) ways are right (and justifiable) in his (or her) own eyes - it doesn't make it good or just, but it might be legal.

Not everyone in church on Sunday is there for God's glory, in fact, most are there for their own.

Not everyone who cries Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, any questions see previous comment.

The people you love can lie to your face and then disrespect you and call you an idiot for believing them, but no matter what, love believes all things and never fails to be given. That's why lies hurt.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man (or woman) because He is love, therefore He never fails to give of himself for our benefit and hope. People can't be implicitly trusted.

Even when the whole world hates you, and sometimes it will, God never leaves your side - no matter what the outcome happens to be.

All stones can spout flowers and fruit trees under the right conditions, even the ones around our hearts.

When ever your heart hurts really, really bad, two things are certain: 1) God feels it too; 2) God is still keeping more hurt away from you.

I knew all these words for the longest time, and knew what they meant. I could teach on them. But now I have understanding.

"Knowledge is a mighty thing to have in the hand, but I would trade it all if I could only understand." -- Author Unknown

Lots to think about today.
