Measuring with a different rule ...
In our systematic approach to important matters, it seems most reasonable that everyone should have the same kind of ruler for measuring.
A young intern changed his opinion about that shortly after being asked to visit a shut-in. "She has been blind since she was just five years old," he was told. Fully prepared about her interests, he picked up his Bible for a reading session and introduced himself with some small talk just to get acquainted.
Before he had a chance to read the scriptures to her, she stopped him. Sensing his pity she replied, "Young man, you need not feel sorry for me. I've had over sixty years of God's blessings, and you've only had about twenty-five."
Wouldn't you expect that a woman incapacitated by blindness the last sixty years of her life might regret not being able to do the things that others had done. What, after all, would she have to share if you started talking about the things that you had done or were doing?
"Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him." (1 John 31:21-22)
