Scripture
Mark 6:3b They tripped over what little they knew about Him and fell, sprawling. And they never got any further.
Observation
I found myself in a conversation yesterday being pretty judgemental about somebody based on very limited knowledge. I was clear & keen to point out that I was voicing a view based only on my perceptions.
However, it got me to thinking about the gap that can exist between perception & reality - a place where there is room for all manner of (unanswered) nonsense & misunderstanding. It can cost me a true insight to a person & their gift...ultimately in this verse, it cost people knowing Jesus.
Application
In truth, whilst a theory of change would be pretty easy to verbalise, I don't yet know how I need to apply myself in reality by way of attitude & action adjustments - that doesn't mean I'm not still on the case.
Prayer
Lord, feels like I just had a blind spot revealed - thank you for friends that will do that with you.
Please keep instructing me in the way forward & may I be dis-satisfied enough to undertake the cost of change.
Thanks - Jonathan
