Do you ever hesitate to share something good with others you may know for fear of their theological interpretation? Or maybe it's something really bad?
Amazing how the good always gets attributed to "God was watching out for you." While the bad may bring comments like "You must have done something that took you out of God's graces."
Such theological interpretations serve as a hot stove to me. I become much more careful what I say, in the same way that I move cautiously around a hot stove.
Oh, that these comments and ideas could be replaced with a powerfully simple: "That's great!" or "That's just not fair."
