HE sees better than me...

Hello friends!  How easy it is being on the outside looking in instead of being on the inside looking out!  Have you ever listened to someone speak and very quickly you recognized an area of their thinking that needed some adjustments?  We all have, most likely.  I was listening to a man talk last night when almost instantly, I percieved that his perception of a certain situation was a "little cloudy".  lol  Then later I thought to myself, "If only our self-perception was as keen as our perception of others!!" 

I say this because we really are the only one in our life that can make personal adjustments.  Do you know what I mean?  It's up to each of us as individuals to make corrections in our own thinking, character and behavior.  No matter how clearly others see that we need some adjustments, if we can't see it, it will never happen!

How wonderful though to have the Holy Spirit with us.  What illumination He is able to bring to every thought, word and action.  He doesn't miss a thing!  I was recently in prayer and the Holy Spirit corrected something that I had been saying for several months now without any idea that what I had been saying was offensive to God.  In reference to ministry, somehow I had gotten into the routine of saying, "My only qualification is that I care."  I am not sure how I even got started saying that but the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Caring is not a qualification!  Lot's of people care.  Your qualification is the Spirit of the Lord is upon you because He has annointed you to preach the Gospel!" 

WOW!  Correction received and adjustment acknowledged.  Thank you God for not leaving us to figure all of this out on our own.  Thank you God that when self-perception fails, your Spirit is sharp!

Loving U like a Sister,
