Elf Girl in the City

S. Brenda Elfgirl - I was told I am an elf in a parallel life, and I live in the Arizona desert exploring what this means. I've had this blog for a while and I write about the things that interest me. My spiritual teacher told me that my journey in life is about balancing "the perfect oneness of a sweetness heart and the effulgent soul". My inner and outer lives are like parallel lines that will one day meet, but only when there is a new way of thinking. Read on as I try to find the balance.

Day 342 Bible Reading

Jude 1: 9 (ESV)

But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

This line from Jude 1 stood out for me today. I believe God is telling us that he is the ultimate judge of people. We cannot truthfully judge right from wrong and must rely on God to be the ultimate judge of what is people’s hearts. I know that I have often judged harshly the behavior of others in the past, but through prayer, I have come to see that I can only see their actions but not the truth of why a person did what they did. It is hard, but I am trying to have more compassion for people by telling myself that God will judge them.
