Experience

The Youth of St Mark's ... in need of our experience

29 September 2010

Matthew 16:2 He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.'

The sun is shining and the skies are clear, spring is in the air, and so one dresses accordingly. Step outside and it is very cold, back inside again, a quick clothes change, warm again you start off. When one looks at the weather, it is easy to be deceived about the real skin conditions outside, both the weather reports and what we see, does not mean that we feel the weather the same.

In life we find similar situations where we see and understand one thing but actually experience something different. We find this also in relationships, and with associates who seem to be one thing, but we actually experience them differently. They may be sunny and reports may confirm this, but when we get close to them and leave our comfort zone we find them to blow a bitter cold wind. In this respect we need to understand that no matter what the reports may be, or even what we see, it is only when we take that step do we actually gain our own experience. With this experience we have either go and change in order to cope with their conditions, or what a joy when we do not have to because they actually are who they claim to be.

Be encouraged today be aware that not all people are who they claim to be.

Point to ponder: Experience teaches us the truth.

Question to consider: Are you who you claim to be?
