Will there be rain or hail ?

So today my journey has brought me to a place where there are several people in turmoil because the rules keep changing. I want to help these people find peace so I've prayed and His answer may be " to give grace. "

I once worked for a business that required me to persuade customers to use a service. Then they were to sign a contract . In this form written contract were some blank lines that I was to fill in , as to according to the agreement.
So when I handed in my first signed contract I was surprised to learn from my employer that what I had written on the lines did not please him. The rules are .............. and he proceeded to tell me. So then I found another customer , once again this customer signed the contract after I had filled in the blank lines. This time I was sure I had done as my employer said, but no. He called me up and told me I had done it wrong again. It wasn't long and his secretary called me and when I asked her about the rules changing , she said, "this is just the way he is , what ever seems to be right to him on any given day , these are the rules. "

Now that position probably provided about five to ten per cent of my monthly income . For these people whose full time employment could be affected by how well they follow the rules , I have to assume their distress is much greater than mine was.

I did not walk through that experience with victory . However, if I could do it over , I think the answer would be grace.

I will tell you what I am thinking . Remembering this is my word of testimony , I believe by basing my choices on God's words , He is with me.

When people truly need a word of correction , I think it best to find grace for their mistake first. If you address their mistake with the attitude of surely a donkey would know better than to do that. I think you just might find out how ineffective that would be.

So what kind of grace am I talking about giving ? Well , take me for instance. I tell my daughter this is what I want her to do and then I change it up. I have good reasons of course , but I am really causing her a lot of frustration. What is going on ?

Am I really a double minded person who doesn't know what I want her to ?
If I am double minded person , what hope could there be for me ?
I will tell you. There is a lot of hope. I once was a double minded person but I started placing my trust in God's word and living like I trusted in it. I have become less double minded as time goes on. However , when I was the greatest depth of double mindedness , someone gave me grace. Someone corrected me yes, but at the same time they introduced me to grace.

I share with you an excerpt from Pilgrim's Progress
CHRISTIAN: Then said Christian, What means this?
INTERPRETER: The Interpreter answered, This parlor is the heart of a man that was never sanctified by the sweet grace of the Gospel. The dust is his original sin, and inward corruptions, that have defiled the whole man. He that began to sweep at first, is the law; but she that brought water, and did sprinkle it, is the Gospel. Now whereas thou sawest, that so soon as the first began to sweep, the dust did so fly about that the room by him could not be cleansed, but that thou wast almost choked therewith; this is to show thee, that the law, instead of cleansing the heart (by its working) from sin, doth revive, (Rom 7:9 ) put strength into, (1 Cr 15:56) and increase it in the soul, (Rom 5:20) even as it doth discover and forbid it; for it doth not give power to subdue. Again, as thou sawest the damsel sprinkle the room with water, upon which it was cleansed with pleasure, this is to show thee, that when the Gospel comes in the sweet and precious influences thereof to the heart, then, I say, even as thou sawest the damsel lay the dust by sprinkling the floor with water, so is sin vanquished and subdued, and the soul made clean, through the faith of it, and consequently fit for the King of glory to inhabit.

So what I am saying here is I think in order to walk beside the people who are now in distress because of bosses who have changing rules , I should line myself up to God's word the best I can.
However, if I line up with God's word , receive grace and desire to give grace , it is for God to decide their fate. It may rain upon them , as it has me, or He may judge them (the bosses) , as He promised to do in Rev. send hail.

May my own heart be fit for the King of glory to inhabit before I go on.

Rom 5:20 And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:
