God bless!

     So many of us live for the moment to say “I told you so” to others, am I right? We wait and seek for the opportunity to prance on someone in their faltering moment, why? What benefit do we find in saying “I told you”? Does saying “I told you” fix the issue you are confronting? Does saying “I told you” justify a separation? Does saying “I told you” make anyone feel better? Doesn’t it in fact make you the aggressor or perpetrator in the scenario? Doesn’t it take away your ability to do the right thing in a moment of another’s weakness? What benefit do we find in being arrogant, cocky and simply not nice people? Do we get to heaven faster? Do we gain an income or power? Why am I asking so many questions, you may ask? It’s simple because the initial act of rubbing an issue in someone else’s face answers nothing and simply opens us up to more problems. Does this make sense? If it does I encourage you today to look for an opportunity to look past someone else’s mistake. I’m not saying make believe the mistake didn’t happen but what I’m saying is allow them to be forgiven and help them to rectify the issue instead, just like you would like to experience for yourself. When you do this please let me know because I want to tell you “I told you so!”….
