perceptions

I swear that perceptions are going to be the death of me. I don't mean perceptions of sensations (for example, you find a particular potato chip saltier than I do), but people's perceptions of other people's thoughts and actions. I find it so fascinating, and particularly frusterating, that each person has different perceptions of the same event depending on their past experiences, knowledge, beliefs, feelings, and mind-set at the time. I analyze it, try to figure it out, and come to the same conclusion every time: I don't know. I don't know why it works so splendidly the way it does, and why it is so disasterous the way it is. However, there's definitely something to be said for having Christ's perspective on things. Even if I don't know what to do, or who's thoughts are best (mine, the others, or the other others or anyone else's for that matter), I do know that God is all wise, sees and understands all the perceptions, knows all the conditions involved, and also knows what's really going on. Ha- and my problem regarding perceptions just became solved. Why bother trying to figure everyone's perceptions out when Christ knows? He knows, and He is the one that can change people to fix broken perspectives - including my own. In my immaturity, I often just want to be the one in the right. But beyond that, I want to be wise and I want to know what most glorifes God in a situation. But as long as I know that God has perceptions covered... why bother killing my brain and draining my tear reserves in order to sort it all out? Instead, I am sweetly humbled in and freed from it all until I forget. But God still knows, and will bring me back to this point again.
