In reply to Tina. Blessings to you sister. Yes, it really has been a phrase that I keep thinking about. God is good to speak to us.

Oh, wow! Seriously, wow. This post stopped me dead in my tracks. What if? What IF? Thank you so much for this post. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I struggle often (i.e. every single minute of every day) with irritation at other people for not doing things the way that I would, or not doing it as quickly. Not only does this make me miserable, unfortunately, it’s my amazing husband that often takes the brunt of my frustration. This is going to be my new mantra for myself as I learn to hold both my tongue and my irritation. I’ve already found myself repeating it in my head numerous times since reading this post yesterday. Thank you so much for bringing it down to my level and convicting me. Thank you!

Yes and what if we all remember, we have two commands spoken and neither point to expecting perfection in ourselves.

Beautiful post.

Wow! That is exactly the heart disposition I feel God is calling me too! It makes my heart lighter and free-er to love! God bless 🙂

I needed to hear that. This very minute. And do a little repenting. And make things right with my hubby. Thank you!

I really do love this. I know it’s the truth. But it’s hard. My husband, the counselor, has spent years trying to tell his lovely wife, the controller of all things and people, that “folks are doing the best they can with what they know”. He speaks from so much experience and heart of compassion. I am learning. Thank you for this reminder.

Oh, yes. My favorite kind of post. What if. What if we could always see others the way God does? What if our eyes could not be diverted from Jesus? Praying to turn this “what if” into a reality more often than not in my own life.

But here is what really struck me as I read your yummy “what if” today. What if I lived out each day knowing that all I can do is my best given MY situation, MY faith (or lack thereof), and MY circumstances at that particular moment in time? Would I stop looking at what everyone else has going on? Would I depend more on Jesus to help me in my current state and to move me beyond where I am today?

What grace to know that God knows us each so intimately and He judges so differently than the world. Love to you today, Lara!
