Don't Make Assumptions
We make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do. We think others think the way we think and feel the way we feel.

If you don't understand something, it is better for you to ask and be clear, instead of making an assumption. With clear communication, all of your reltaionships will change.

Saying this sounds easy, but it is extremely difficult. We all have habits and routines (we aren't even aware of) that make it second nature to assume that when someone does or says something, it results in a conditioned response and meaning.

Making assumptions can cause needless suffering, misunderstandings and rob us of opportunities for joy.

It is easy to be an armchair quarterback and know what calls the coach should have made. In doing so the team would surely have won the game. We assume we have all the facts. We do the same thing in life - we assume we know all the facts and make judgements on how someone should handle situations in their life. Sometimes we even assume we know how another person feels.

We even make assumptions about how others precieve us. We may even try to adapt our behavior to what we "assume" will please them. In truth Real Love is accepting other people and yourself without trying to change them.

Imagine when we can extrapolate "assumptions " from our lives....communication will change completely. Relationhips will no longer suffer from mistaken assumptions.

The problem with making assumptions is that we believe them to be true.

Thankfully, God knows our true intentions
