OPINIONS

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Need an opinion?

Don't worry. You won't have to search for long. Everybody seems to have one on any subject you can name.

But be honest. You don't really want someone's opinion. You want to give them yours!

But if you want to learn and also make other people happy, you will look for the grain of truth in other opinions.

It's not easy. But it can be done.

However, when someone states their opinion and it doesn't agree with our belief, we either dismiss it or find fault with it

Almost every opinion has some merit.

We'll all be much happier if we will search for that grain of truth in what the other person is saying.

(For example: Just think today of the many opinions you read on Facebook that you instantly rejected.)

I like that about searching for the grain of truth in an opinion. Was very apt for me because today I was struggling with advice/opinions from two very trusted friends. What I then do to get the final answer and approval is go to the Lord, and pray I have the sense to listen to what He says about it all.
