I was working today, interacting with someone when I noticed myself getting agitated about questions that were being asked. They weren’t unreasonable questions, just questions which the individual had that prevented her from moving forward with her tasks. As I attempted to answer the questions, I started asking myself why I was getting agitated. The answer is, I just didn’t trust her motives. That was it. I didn’t trust her motives for asking the question. As a result, I didn’t want to help her. It was a struggle for me. I had to decide whether I’d be willing to help, which was the right thing to do, or to let her figure it out herself. By nature I wanted to help her, but my lack of trust made me want to walk away. Then it hit me, Trust God! It’s not about the individual. We can never really know what another person’s motives are, so trying to figure it out is fruitless. The key is to build the relationship with God and trust him. Trust that he will order our steps, direct our path, and keep us safe. When I realized that, it was sooo much easier to help her. The battle was over, and I won.
