We oftentimes “DIS” the negative things in our life that are most likely our greatest advantages.
God knows everything. But knowing that God knows everything can give us peace and increase our ability to trust Him.
So often we live like we hold eternal judgements in our hands. We make decisions about people and think things about people that are not our decisions to be making. Ultimate judgement is God’s job.

You can’t give your small group of kids a high five and see them smile.
