Day 8 - Someday We'd Understand

366 Days of Compassion and God's Promises in the Bible

Mar 18, 2021

When I judge others harshly, I must ask this question, "Am I doing all these because I have also been so harsh with myself?"

“Yes, I don’t judge my own self. For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.”
- 1 Corinthians 4, WEBBE

Someday

Someday,
We'll understand each other, you and I,
When we finally discover the reason why
Why we seemed so different from the outside.

Someday,
We will see,
That there's a lot of similarity
Between you and me.

We will know
That we have both tried our very best
But we were both wounded
We were lost and tired and weak.

All the while
We were both just trying to find
The thing that's missing
In our lives.

We were both just trying to walk
Just trying to talk
Just trying to pray
When we couldn't find our way.

Someday,
We will finally come to see
We both just wanted to be loved
You and I.

God’s Promise for Today

“If you take away from amongst you the yoke,
finger pointing,
and speaking wickedly;
and if you pour out your soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul,
then your light will rise in darkness,
and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
and the LORD will guide you continually,
satisfy your soul in dry places,
and make your bones strong.
You will be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water
whose waters don’t fail.
- Isaiah 58:9-11, WEBBE
