What a beautiful day in sunny Buffalo, NY! It's a heatwave where the high today is supposed to be 39 degrees!!! It feels WARM here today after a long spell of frigid temperatures in the single digits, and double digit below zero wind chills. It's a welcome change, and brings the hope of Spring with it.
It's all in the perception. In Florida the other day, I saw that it was in the thirties for temperatures. There, that was frigid! Here, it's a heat wave! It's all in the perception, and where you're coming from. And that's true of many people these days as well.
What we perceive someone to be, may not truly be what we see, and often, it depends on where they're coming from. It's so easy to judge someone quickly, harshly, and sometimes unfairly. I for one need to work on that daily, because I know it's an easy thing for me to do, and something I know that God does not want me to do. I need to try to do better to see others with the eyes of Jesus, and love them with His love. I'll do my very best to leave the judging to Him, and know that He indeed is in control!
May the Lord bless and keep you in His love today, and as you feel the hope of Spring coming, may you feel the hope of the Lord envelop you and bring you joy.
