I love Jesus\u2019 response here and it\u2019s such a good thing for us to remember in that we shouldn\u2019t be worried about the other people unless we are called to do so. If we are only getting involved for selfish reasons then we need to catch ourselves and stay in our lane. What we see that happens next in this passage is so often what still happens today, people make assumptions from there and soon it becomes way bigger than it ever should have. We just need to remember that we are each on a journey of our own and it\u2019s unique to us, let us focus on what is ours to focus on and realize that life sometimes isn\u2019t fair from our perspective.
