I am so dis-heartened by some. I just don't understand why people do and say what they do. I am the first to admit that I am not perfect. I fall flat on my face MANY times (sometimes in a day) and the Lord picks me up once I am repentive... HE IS AN AMAZING GOD!
But when people give you their word. They say that they understand and respect your wishes. You want their virtue's to be honest and upright. That they will do as they say and their word is their word. Both Russ and I have tried to teach by example this to our girls. Again, they nor we are perfect. But I will do my best as a parent to help keep them accountable - confront issues - isn't that what a parent is suppose to do?
But I don't understand deliberate deception. When you KNOW that what you are choosing to do will harm and hurt an others feelings ~ that it is complete disrespect ~ and you still do it ~ to fulfill your own earthly desire... Where is your character in that? Why?
When this happens, you have the right and justification to feel violated. There has been no respect shown. To be hurt, and to cry. But don't forget.... The most important thing... God's character in YOU is what matters. HE WILL reveal to those around in HIS ways, the truth and character of each of us. HE is a REDEEMING and LOVING Father.
So, as I live my life... I give HIM my questions that I have of others and will TRY the best I can not to judge... AS HE will do that. I only can pray for my girls to be honest and completely true to their words... They are learning... falling flat on their faces too, sometimes. THANK GOD for HIS AMAZING GRACE!
