I think back to some of the things that I taught to people or spoke to someone that was not correct about God or the Bible, and it makes me cringe. I think, how did I have it so wrong and what did it do to some of the people that listened to me? Then God speaks and reminds me of this:
"My Child, everyone is on a journey of discovery of who I am. You look at what you had wrong, and I see all that I have done right in you. It takes time for you to come to the knowledge of all that you are, and all that I am for you. Every season of life you have said so many things that were right, even when you didn't realize it. By grace, I allow people to tell and show others Me, right where they are in their understanding of Me. I will correct the picture in others of anything that might have been misconstrued about Me.
You must remember that I have a way to bring people to you who need what you know through your experiences and the knowledge you have of Me at that moment in time. The times that you look back at, I want you to remember the people that were there were ready for what you knew then. Have you considered that they weren't ready for more knowledge than you had to give? They wouldn't be ready to receive more because of where they were on their own journey of discovery.
So, My Child, do not compare where you were then and where you are now when it comes to what you told people. If you are going to compare, let it be to show you how far I have brought you in knowing My love and who I really am. Let it be an encouragement to what I have done in correcting your beliefs, and what I will continue to do for the remainder of your life here on earth. I love you!
May this be an encouragement for someone today.
