Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4 Well brother, you should walk a mile in my shoes?! Have you ever heard anyone say that? Worse yet, have you ever said it yourself? Do your conversations always seem to end up focusing on the things that YOU have been through, that YOU are going through or that YOU will be facing? Do you want the cashier at the grocery store to hurry up so that YOU can get out quicker? Do you need the car in front of you to get out of the way so that YOU can pass? Do you need your spouse to listen to YOU? Do you want your kids to stop driving YOU crazy? Do you wish your boss understood all that YOU do or that your friends would give YOU a call? If so, then my friend you have the WIMS Walk In My Shoes disease. WIMS is a terrible disease that steals our joy and eats away at our lives. WIMS leads to nothing but frustration and anger. Mainly because it is impossible to get any human being to understand our hurts and our struggles. Only God can do that. Besides, everyone around us has had their own mile to walk and their own shoes to wear. Some may be wearing shoes that do not look quite so worn. Maybe that is because the ones they were wearing were so worn out that they just had to get a new pair. You cant judge a persons journey by the shoes that they are wearing and you cant spend your life trying to get them to understand your journey by trying to cram their feet into your shoes. So before we walk out of the door this morning, lets ask the Lord to help us walk in His shoes and then lets look around to see how we can help someone else have a better day.
