True Understanding and Blessings …
I have always known God is genius :) but every time I think, “Wow, is He amazing,” something else is revealed proving my mind has no hope of fully embracing His intrinsic creation. Life is dynamic and the human mind powerful – who better to know this than God? He knows that within the thoughts of man hold the power to destroy our very being or to bless us richly. He knows that each person’s life experiences bring a different perspective/interpretation of reality.
Have you ever had a situation where you didn’t understand how something that seemed so minor to you could upset someone else so much? Why does this happen? Our reaction is based on our personal experiences which can trigger a very positive reaction or a very negative one. An example would be two people looking at the same ink blot can have completely different opinions as to what the image is in front of them. Same exact image, two very different interpretations but one thing in common – both so strong in their personal interpretation that neither will back down because after all, it is right there in front of them in black & white (so they do not understand why the other cannot see the same thing). That lack of Understanding quickly leads to division and energy spent trying to convince the other to see it their way when reality is that they each “see what they see” based on their personal experiences (i.e., what they have lived and have been taught). But when reduced to the simplest form removing their personal interpretations, both agree that there in front of them is a piece of white paper with black ink. Common understanding … wonderful!!
We can learn a lot from that example and that is reducing things to the simplest form … understanding that there is only one something bigger. God knew that if we relied on our own understanding that different interpretations of His Word would manifest and division amongst His children would be the result but if we can remove the interpretations and go back to basics we will be able to see the ink on the paper … one God, one language (Love), one set of rules (His Word which is within us) – all we have to do is believe.
“The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130
May you open your heart and mind to those “heart tugs” believing and knowing they are God leading your every step with HIS understanding once you BELIEVE … He can then begin to truly bless your life.
God bless – love to you all!
