Today I had a real bummer day in regards to the people I thought I knew. And then it began to dawn on me...how well do we really know each other? I may call someone a friend, yet they might not consider me one, or I may think I'm close to someone, but they might consider me an acquaintance. And then I thought again...am I being a friend, or someone who doesn't represent love at all?
I know I get bummed out when I don't understand the people I have relationships with; but then again, maybe I shouldn't put that much pressure on that relationship...
I was disappointed in a friend today. And while I was angry and saddened by what this person did, I realized that I had no room to judge; or to have an opinion on the situation. It's God alone who knows people's hearts. And while I feel He knows mine by heart, I need to trust in Him that these certain ordeals will work out in the end. If I remained stuck in the disappointments of life, the lost of trust between friends, and the lack of love in relationships, I would never grow. But if I can move past the disappointments, then I know there will be growth. Not only in the relationships I share, but with the God who grants me grace daily. The Lord said, "Be holy for I am holy..." I'm gonna try to move past the disappointments life has to offer, and try to live a holy life...I just have to remind myself, one step at a time...
Love and Peace,
G

As I sit here in the coolness of the morning, I am very grateful for the new day. So many things that have not unfolded, yet I will be part of it in some way. It's like being part of a beautiful threaded design and wondering what color thread will be me. Will I be yellow, green or black? Each color could represent something different to each of us. Today I would hope ~ green. Green to me represents life. I'm ready now, start my day~
As i read your post I could feel this in my soul. People dissappoint. I know I disappoint many people. I try to step back and do what you have so wisely written about. Think about what has really transpired ask for God's perspective and show love. I think about the TRUTH that God is not finished with me or the person who has disappointed me. That He is at work and in control. That the very things I don't understand can be His moments of break-through....in me and in the other person. Love, patience and grace. it's what I need from God and it is what I need to pour on others. I will pray all this "works together for good" for you and this one who has disappointed.
Love you.... and enjoy your blog!
