My personality walks a tenuous tightrope of being an Empath and a Crusader. One minute I can be mad as a wet hen about someone’s unfair actions, and the next, wanting to console them as I understand the “whys” of their hurtful ways. Messes me up! And them too I am sure! Loose cannon Lynette. So today’s words from “Jesus Calling” got me thinking. “Look at others through the lenses of My love; see them from My perspective.” Hmmm… I think grasping that at an elementary level over the years has been what has allowed me to even add SOME semblance of Empath to my baseline Crusader temperament. You have tempered me with Your love God. Not just for me, but for them. Perspective. Precious to You. Therefore precious to me. Doesn’t make me blind to right or wrong, but it does soften the edges with compassion. Still need to grow in this though Lord. Perhaps there is a way to BLEND these two driving forces rather than bouncing bipolarly from one to the other? Maybe keeping Your Songlasses on when I get a blast of blinding offense instead of whipping them off for instant battle! Sight impaired, I can’t see clearly enough to make good choices. Jesus lenses. Grace and truth kissing compatibly. Won’t happen perfectly this side of Heaven, but at least I can consult You for Ophthalmological input!
