Thought of the day. #4

As I reflect on my personal life over the years, one of the hardest things to accept is that people have the right to live as they desire. 

I want to make my own choice but sometimes I don’t give others that same space and respect. I step in, give unsolicited advice, or simply put what I think above the person's freedom of choice.

I must be careful to not write stories for others who make choices that, from my perspective, will hurt them.  

Only God knows the true outcome of a person's choice, only God knows if their choice will bring joy or sorrow. 

So, when I find myself thinking I am sure of the future someone else will live, I must think again. I could have never predicted the future I am living in. I could never have done that for my own life, I definitely can’t do that for others. 

“If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” 1 John 3:20
