the situation of others

So I was observing someone the other day.  Someone who I think is in distress.  My brain said, "I wonder what their suffering is like?"  Good thought... Instead of judging others, ask yourself, what is their suffering like?

Why are they the way that they are?  There may be a perfectly good reason, but we just don't know it.

Maybe if we did know it, or simply realized that they do have a reason.... it might change our outlook.  Everyone is the way that they are for a reason.

Generally if people thought they were wrong, and had the power to change, they would do so.  so folks that you don't get, either are lost in a world where they are sure they are right or they don't have the ability to change their circumstance.

Love is always good to share.
Mercy rejoices over judgment.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
