I am inspired to start a "where the rubber meets the road" thread where we can share with others what He has patiently taught us during our journey and to do so without judgment. So, exactly how have you learned to LIVE the words you profess? And, what are the benefits you've realized?
I'll start. Here's one of mine:
He always has my best in mind. In every situation. In every way and every day.
For example (admittedly, this will seem petty to some!):
When I am caught behind someone who is not driving the way I want them to, I am reminded that only He can see the road ahead.
I used to be a road rage fanatic - in my younger years. (Truthfully, I've had 3 actual auto accidents in my 25 years of driving.) I have lived in several large metropolitan cities, always multi-tasking, running late, etc., where many, many, many times I have been in a near-miss car accident situation. The difference between the near-miss and the accident was calculated in few mere seconds. Even on the drive in to work today, I was gently reminded that my impatience will work against His plan for me.
Anyone else have something to share?
