20/20 hindsight

(1/5) > >>

Deborah-Leigh:

I have been looking at earlier posts and noticed how much I have changed since the publishing of Rays teachings that have progressively edified and enlightened. The influence effects us all. I think we all could edit our posts with the teachings we have today that were absent to us then.

I did an exercise on one posters comments made in 1996 and I can see how differently I would answer now, knowing what I know now.

20/20 hindsight :)

Hi Arcturus, that old saying "if I knew then what I know now" comes to mind.  :)

Deborah-Leigh:
Hi Stacey

What comes to my mind is, no looking back! :D

It is with deep appreciation that we have the light of the Truth dawning on us!

Roy Martin:
I have looked back on mine and almost deleted, but then I realized that its good for me, and others to have the comparison to see just as you said, our growth. It's very humbling.
 When I first started posting I made several mistakes in some of the things I said or rather didn't understand what I was saying and got offended and actually did delete a couple things, but now I wish I hadn't because after rethinking the things I posted that were wrong or taken wrong would humble me in many ways. I'm one of those that say it like I see it and feel it, and if I have to take my foot out of my mouth then I will do it humbly, and they're plenty of people here to let me know my foot is in my mouth, and I'm beginning to like the taste of leather coated with humble icing.
Peace
Roy

Hello Roy

Thank you for your comments. It is not unusual to feel offended, hurt, disappointed or even sad. It is part of the process  but we do not have to live in anxiety here in the Forum.  Our Father has appointed each one of us to be here and He is preparing a people for His Kingdom.  Part of being accounted worthy is being humble - knowing God is Sovereign with the same reverential dependence of a child for their parent.

Mat 18:4  Therefore whoever shall humble  himself like this little child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven.

Psa 10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
