Seth Godin, whose work nudged me in this Blog direction several years ago, recently wrote this —

Assuming other people

have it too

Whatever “it” is.

That’s probably a mistake.

People don’t know what you know, don’t believe what you believe, don’t fear what you fear. They’re not equally skilled, equally fast and equally equipped.

“If I were you” isn’t that helpful.

—- and there we go.

As our Bibles tell us,

“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

“Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you.

“Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.

“Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.” (1st Peter 4:10, 11)
