This picture was sooooo good, I just had to share it with you all! Its speaks VOLUMES about how we look at people and judge them. How in the world can you really claim to know who I really am and you don't even know who YOU really are? Opinions and assumptions of people mean absolutely NOTHING if you do not take out time to get to know them for them. When we don't know who we are, then we stick that on others because we want them to be who WE want them to be instead of who they are. Sometimes, just because of who your "folks is" will have people labeling you. If your brother or mother is loud, obnoxious, rude, etc. and just say Jane Doe knows this but doesn't really know you, she may automatically assume that you are the same way when you really aren't! That's why we must get to know people for ourselves instead of pre-judging them based off of what others feel/say. You don't even know me enough to not like me...that's how I feel, lol!
We must know who WE are before we try to assume we know who others are. I encourage you to take out time and think about who you've written off due to your assumptions and the reason why you've done so. Ask God to forgive you for not taking out the time to get to know them yet judging based off of how they "appear". I praise God that he never keeps records of wrongs and doesn't hold what we did over our heads unlike man. Everyone is worth getting to know, but before you write them off completley, allow God to speak to you concerning them. He won't ever allow anyone to permanently dwell in your life that should not be there, that's why its important that we be connected to the POWER SOURCE: GOD!

If you have some down time and your spirit agrees to, I encourage you to watch this video. Dr. Cindy Trimm speaks on knowing WHO YOU ARE and the reason why we place assumptions on people. Her message is phenomenal and my prayer is that we will see people for who they are and not what we want them to be!
