Thanks to Alan Hirsch for this:
“We do not see things as they are, but as we are.” – Jewish proverb
How true this is. So often the words that come out of my mouth reveal my heart far more than they reveal anything about the person or situation I’m talking to or about.
In the same way, my thoughts about my wife probably have a lot more to do with my heart, my past, my wounds, and my selfishness than they have to do with what she is or is not doing.
Certainly, there are times this is not true – the trick is learning to figure out which is which. A bit more on that soon.
