Believing the best of someone, means I see that person as complete,
whole and mature. I speak and behave in a way that acknowledges the
person is of value to God and therefore worthy of my respect. End from
beginning, through love, I can choose to see good regardless of the
person’s behavior. My view is consistent as if I see through
love-colored glasses. Love-colored glasses have an anointing on them (a
super-power!) of confidence and leadership. The wearer steers his part
of any relationship or conversation in a loving direction.
I’m not there yet.
I suppose my cry of, “Where’d I put my glasses!” can have spiritual connotation.
When circumstances show me an area of love I need to grow into, it’s
time to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, and change. If I tried to
change myself, I would fail. The Holy Spirit has a great track record
of changing me from glory to glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18 is my favorite scripture, “But we all,
with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are
being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by
the Spirit of the Lord.” This scripture contains amazing hope for us all.
I look forward to a transformed Leah.
I love this life!
