One of our severest lessons comes from being a busybody.
It takes a long time to realize the danger of interfering with God's order for others. You see a certain person suffering, and you interfered.
If you are not making any progress spiritually, never allow it to go on. But get into God's presence and find out the reason for it. Possibly you will find it is because you have been interfering in the life of another; proposing things you had no right to propose; advising when you had no right to advise. When you do have to give advice to another, God will advise through you with the direct understanding of His Spirit; your part is to be so rightly related to God that His discernment comes through you all the time for the blessing of another soul.
Most of us live on the limitations of consciousness – consciously serving, consciously loyal to God. All this is immature. The mature stage is the life of a child which is never conscious; we become so surrendered to God that the consciousness of being used never enters in.
John 21:21-22
They asked him, Then who are you? Are you Elijah?
He said, I am not. Are you the Prophet? He answered, No. Finally they said, Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?
