I'm not always right but I'm rarely wrong and when I was wrong, I was not right.
Think about that a moment. Essentially, that states, I'm always right, because when I thought I was wrong, I was wrong because I'm always right.
Right. Here's the interesting part.
Prior to becoming a Christian, i could read people's intentions.. SUPER MAD SKILLS .. I could tell simply by spending time with them...
SINCE being saved, I cannot do this... It's the weirdest thing ... I went 40 years understanding and reading people quite well... and now, I realize I do not know the hearts or intentions of people anymore.
Upon realizing only God knows the hearts of man, and my prayers about trying to love people like God does... I have a difficult time successfully reading someone. It is almost as if a veil has been put over my eyes, rose colored glasses if you will.. rainbows, butterflies, bubbles... whatever.. I can't read people like I could for so many years.
I like people more than I did before... perhaps God has given me this new heart that is more accepting and less quick to draw conclusions about people.
I find myself being walked on more.. used.. and likely abused.. for my new found good nature. However, I do believe I'm where God wants me, but I do miss being able to naturally just know what people are thinking or feeling without even trying.
HAS anyone else lost the ability to read people since they've become saved? It is as if I'm less discerning and more trusting of people.. more loving... more kind.
Edit: DUH TIF, THE POINT:: The point is I'm often wrong now so the title of the thread no longer applies as it did most of my life.
