I use to be so black and white....I am so pleased God has worked in me to change me to be more accepting of the grey areas which are everywhere. To live in the grey areas really. So much has happened in my life that would stress me out if I needed all the answers. I am less stressed now with accepting that God is not surprised by ANYTHING that happens. This has especially helped me recently with helping support my daughter going through a marriage separation. And during this horrible time, I have been led by God what to pray for her and her baby, and not to pray what I think should happen, etc. This helps me rest in Him!
I am so the same - I used to be black and white as well. VERY black and white. just like the Pharisees. Jesus blew black and white up really, when he walked on the earth - mixing with all kinds of different people who church tells you to avoid.
Having our own kids gives us a glimpse into the father heart of God ah. I am relearning God's love at the moment - he loved us before we did anything good or bad just like our kids when they were new born babies. Even now, we love our kids even though they may make different life choices than we would like. God is the same.
