I Cor.8:7 says: "Knowing isn't everything. If it becomes everything, some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others as know-nothings. Real knowledge isn't that insensitive."
These verses make me wonder if I, unintentionally, have made someone feel like a know-nothing. I've felt that way myself, and it would sadden me if I were to do that to another. The older I get, the less I seem to know. I have many opinions, but knowing it my knower? Well, that's something else again.
One thing I do know in my knower--God exists. I am certain God does exist. In fact, I would bet my life on it; indeed, I have. Now, am I insensitive to those who do not know this? I hope not. While living in Arizona, I tutored people every week who were on parole or probation. So, I met lots of people who have gone through hard knocks. A few of them have found the Lord, and you can tell by their attitudes toward working hard, often mentioning why they had had a turn-around. Others may not know what I know that God is kind, good, and real. They don't know how much they are loved by our astounding God. (I hope they know by now.) Perhaps, you are like that, too. I hope you know Him, soon!
Lord, I pray for all those whom I have loved and those I love through these daily words. I pray that they will come to know--and accept--your incredible love for them. In your time, Lord. In your time. Amen.
