Lovely hivers,
Welcome to my blog and kudos to the management crew and also to all of us for being participatory. This is my response to the edition 1 of week 57 engagement that I tilted don't conclude by what you see...which is inline with the general theme looks can be deceiving.
Many times we are guilty or right over what we judge the way we see. Such conclusion can be detrimental. In the course of my life journey, I have the both experiences of judging right and wrong. I would share with you how the experience went and the lessons one could draw from it.
For the singles reading this post, this might be like an eye opener or great counsel which could help sharpen an individual as you settle for life.
HOW I CONCLUDED BY WHAT I SAW AS WRONG.
I think most at times human judgement always fall in the wrong because of the individual differences and ego. What we see speaks volumes to us and keeps one in a position to totally take the wrong for right.
I had a friend that i confided in with the whole of my heart base on the way I saw him, his composure, commitment etc and I thought he won't be able to hurt even an ant. He's such a handsome chap to reckon with by mere look. He could sing and play virtually every instruments at his discretion. In fact to draw my conclusion on him, he has traveled far and near, has high profile of reputation and collects good packages for his efforts.
With all these antecedent, I thought what I saw was undoubtedly can't be argued. What I saw was quite deceiving, and completely wrong.
The guy in question syphon the resources of his parents (money) in the name of going to school whereas he wasn't schooling. He made pseudo requests on his parents for laptops and other heavy school needs just to finish the money.
Later, the parents got to know it and were totally displeased and vowed never to support him again. So I never knew that he could behave that way owing to the fact that he's the first born of his parents. He doesn't look like it sincerely but it happened. That was a wrong perspective from my own side.
HOW I JUDGED BY LOOKS AND BE RIGHT.
This experience may be controversial to someone however it's my experience anyway yours might be different. One of the unforgettable experience I ever had of judging someone by the looks and it's right was when I met my beautiful wife. It may sound as if because she's my wife that's why such happened hmmm when I saw her for the first time, there was a witness in my spirit.
She looks beautiful outside in fact the character display really proved it and I must confess that I got it right. She turned to my vision and believes in every of my life's goal. Initially when I was about starting a relationship for marriage, I made sorts of prayers and commitment to God for the very first time as I behold her, she is the one meant for me. That was a perfect choice for me.
I had a good discerning spirit.
LESSONS
- I have learnt not just to conclude or judge a person by sight but be led by the spirit of God.
- Not all that glitters is gold therefore I have to be careful in the place of decision and never rush to conclusions.
- I learnt my judgement over people can either be positive or negative and I can't always say I am right.
- The number of wrong judgement by look I have done outweighs the right one.
