INTROSPECTIVE "THE SPECK IN SOMEONE'S ELSE'S EYE"

WE ARE QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS AND WE SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEIR PROBLEMS ARE AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM.

I ANSWERED MY PHONE AND IT WAS ONE OF MY CLIENTS THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FOR A YEAR WITH HER PERSONAL BATTLE TO GAIN JUSTICE FROM HER MOTHER'S ESTATE.

SHE SEEMED PLEASANT AT FIRST AND WAS SAID SHE WAS VERY HAPPY TO REACH ME BECAUSE WE HADN'T SPOKEN FOR MONTHS ABOUT HER EXPERIENCES WORKING WITH LAWYERS AND THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT THE MONEY FROM THE ESTATE OF HER MOTHER THEY NEEDED TO DIVIDE EQUALLY.

THIS IS THE BATTLE SHE CHOSE AND I WAS JUST AGREE WITH HER THAT SHE COULD DO IT IF SHE WANTED TO DO IT.PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO SO I DON'T TRY TO CHANGE ANYONE.HER MIND WAS MADE UP TO FIGHT THE BATTLE.

SHE WANTED TO TELL ME SOMETHING THAT I HAD SAID ON MY RADIO SHOW ABOUT MY SISTER AND WHY I STAY SO LONG IN A CO-DEPENDANCE WITH MY SISTER.I LISTEN TO HER AND SAID, I AGREE WITH YOU ON EVERY POINT SHE MADE.SHE SAID,"I WAS CURIOUS AND WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY SISTERS MOTIVES FOR HELPING ME." I SAID,"YES THAT WAS PART OF MY REASONING  FOR LETTING HER HELP THROUGH MY DIVORCE. SHE SAID, "YOU WERE JUST VULNERABLE"  I SAID."YES, I WAS AND I NEEDED HER HELP TO RECOVERY." EVERYTHING SHE SAID WAS RIGHT SO I AGREE AND SAID,"WE ALL GO THROUGH EXPERIENCES AND ALL EXPERIENCES ARE SPIRITUAL.

THEN THE CONVERSATION CHANGE TO HER PROBLEMS WITH HER BATTLE AS I LISTENED TO HER MY THOUGHTS WERE STILL ON WHAT SHE  TOLD ME ABOUT MY PROBLEM I HAD MANY YEARS AGO.  MY QUESTION TO MYSELF WAS "WHY DID SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE" SO I SAID, "YOU COULDN'T  HAVE SAID WHAT YOU SAID TO ME IF YOU HADN'T EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING  I DID ON  MY JOURNEY "SHE DIDN'T REPLIED AND WANTED TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT BACK TO HER PROBLEM.

SHE SAID,"I HAVE A QUESTION AND I WANT A YES OR NO ANSWER." I SAID,"WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?"SHE SAID,"I WANT TO KNOW IF I AM GOING TO WIN AND THE LAWYERS ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH ME?" I SAID,"YOU WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO WIN?"I SAID,"IS THIS YOUR PERCEPTION THAT IS A GAME AND THAT YOU CAN'T WIN?" SHE SAID,"I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING SO LONG AND I AM TIRED OF THE GAMES." I SAID,"YOU CHOOSE THE BATTLE AND LIFE IS A BATTLE AND THE BATTLE IS IN YOU."SHE GOT VERY UPSET AND SAID SHE WAS OVERWHELMED." I SAID,"SHE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HER OWN EMOTIONS SO I TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO KNOW THAT SHE HAD DONE EVERYTHING SHE COULD DO AND LET IT GO TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS OR THE UNIVERSE  OR GOD." SHE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID AND STARTED CRYING AND SAYING SHE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID.SHE SAID,"I JUST ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION YES OR NO AM I GONNA WIN?" I TOLD HER THE BATTLE IS INSIDE YOU AND YOU ARE THE CO-CREATE OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND WINNING OR LOOSING IS UP TO YOU.SHE WAS SO UPSET SHE COULDN'T TALK SO I SAID YOU HAVE ALREADY WON THE BATTLE OUTSIDE BUT INSIDE YOU THE BATTLE RAGES."I SAID,"I HAVE TO GO AND MEDIATE ON THIS AND CALL YOU BACK AND I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME"

AFTER MY MEDITATION MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION CAME IN MORE QUESTIONS I ASKED GOD. I ASKED GOD DID I SAID SOMETHING WRONG TO HER? HE SAID,"YOU DIDN'T ASK HER IF SHE WAS READY TO GIVE UP THE BATTLE BEFORE YOU TOLD HER TO LET GO OF THE BATTLE." I SAID,"YES YOU ARE CORRECT"ANOTHER QUESTION I ASKED GOD."WHY DIDN'T SHE RECEIVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT LETTING GO OF THE BATTLE? SHE KNOWS YOU STAY IN YOUR BATTLE WITH YOUR SISTER AND WAS LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY NOT ADVICE.SHE DIDN'T WANT TO STOP FIGHTING SHE WANTED MORE REVENGE.I LISTENED TO GOD AND PRAY FOR HER AND KNEW GOD WOULD LIFT HER BURDENS AND MINE.

WE CAN SEE THE SPECK IN SOMEONE'S ELSE'S EYE BUT NOT OUR OWN SOMETIMES.WE KNOW WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS HELP BEFORE WE THINK WE NEED HELP.WITHIN OUR OWN INNER SPIRIT WE HAVE MORE COMPASSION FOR OTHER THAN OURSELVES.I KNOW GOD HAS TAKEN ALL MY BURDENS FROM ME MANY TIMES AND MY BATTLE IS NOT WITH ME OR GOD.ASWE GROW INTO OUR SPIRITUAL MATURITY WE NEED TO ASK IF SOMEONE IS READY FOR THE TRUTH OF GOD. I TOLD HER YES GOD WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLE IF YOU GIVE IT ALL TO HIM.IT REALLY ISN'T THE WINING OR LOOSING THE GAME OF LIFE IT IS LIVING THE LIFE. TO THE FULLEST AND LOVING AND NOT HATING THOSE THAT THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL THE MONEY FROM THE ESTATE OF THEIR DEAR BELOVED MOTHER.I EVEN TOLD HER ABOUT THE KENNY ROGERS SONG"YOU GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO CLOSE EM AND KNOW WHEN TO WALK AWAY" JESUS SAID, "WALK AWAY WHEN YOU ARE NOT RECIEVED " I THINK KENNY MUST KNOW JESUS.
