I have been praying for others to be able to see what they need to change.You know ,I seen there faults.But I thought I could not tell them .So I thought the Lord could help them to see. For them to clean them self's up. I really did not want them to miss our reward.
And guess what ? The lord spoke to me,no not out loud but in my heart. He told me I need to look and see.I thought I had ,but I guess not.So I have been praying for my self.So that I may see my self like he sees me.I wanted to be able to see clearly.I wanted to be able to clean me up.And guess what? I had not been able to see before.
This time I was looking and I did not like what I saw.At first I thought well people make me fell this way, it is not my fault.Others push me do do this or that.Oh that is not so bad.So & so does that.Well the Lord brought scripture to my mind of what I was doing wrong.I am so thankful he did.I do not want to miss heaven and my God.
Some of things I saw I had no idea I had trouble with.I used to be afraid of storms.I had thought I had put that away when my children were little.I had ask God to help me.But the other day I was out shopping and a big black cloud came up. And low and behold I became afraid.I prayed that I could over come.I know that God can take care of it. But that is just one thing he showed me.
I really don't know why I wrinting about this? Maybe so I can remember.

I am so glad you shared. Maybe that is why you shared it...For ME! I was thinking this morning about something that is happening with a Sister and a choice she has made many times. The way I read the scriptures and how I have been taught my whole life, I believe she is in the wrong. I then began to think about the ways that I may fail in the same thing. Maybe I need to look MORE closely at myself. I know I have not made the same choice but maybe I lack in the same catagory but in a different way. Hummm... Thanks for sharing. It really is great for the younger sisters to hear the older sisters struggles so we know we aren't the only one. Sometimes it easy to look at the older and think they have it all figured out. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing I know that we have already talked about this the other day but since then I have been trying to get a better look at myself. I don't always like what I see and I need to be making some changes.
I know what you mean, I feel the exact same way. It is so easy to see others' faults, but so hard to see your own. My husband is really good to tell me if I am only seeing other people's faults, instead of seeing who I need to see... MINE. Good post, it is something we all should think about :)
It seems that every time I start looking at other's shortcomings, or trials. When I have a very definate opinion about what they should do or stop doing the Lord shows me what I need to take care of in my own life. He reminds to pray for them, leave it in his hands, and go unto perfection in my own life. The Lord knows I'm far, far from perfect. LOL
I thank the Lord every day that he is still willing to work with me, to make me what I ought to be.
Sometimes the best example to others is your life, and a soft, meek, God directed answer.
