UNDERSTANDING.

UNDERSTANDING.

The Tendency We Have,

As Human Beings,

Is To Become Self-Focused,

Primarily Consumed With Our Own Difficulties, Disappointments && Struggles.. Without Giving Much Thought To Or Care For The Things Others Are Feeling && Facing.

Life Becomes All About Us.

This Kind Of Self-Absorption Leads Us Down The Slippery Slope Of Self-Pity.

If We Are Not Careful, We Are Soon Carrying The Proverbial “Chip On The Shoulder”.. Reacting In Frustration && Anger To Those Who Do Not Seem To Understand Or Perceived Plight In Life.

Many People Live This Way.

They Are So Wrapped Up In Their Own Pain, && In Their Need For Everyone To Cater To It.. That They Never Reach Out && Care About The Challenges && Difficulties Of Others Around Them. They Never Learn The Valuable Lesson Of Understanding Others.

Understanding Is The Ability To Grasp, Empathize && Sympathize With The Pain Or Problems Of Others. Understanding Does Not Simply Commiserate With Someone. In Its Healthy Form, Understanding Reaches Out To Help A Hurting Person Rise Above Their Difficulties && Distress. Real Understand Lifts Others To New Levels Of Hope && Trust In GOD.

When We Seek To Understand Others,

Helping Them Bear Their Burdens,

We Force Our Focus Away From Our Own Concerns. We Also Open Our Own Heart To The Flow Of GOD’s Healing, Strengthening Grace. Giving To Others Is One Of The Surest && Quickest Ways To Receive What We Need From GOD.
