Motivation

Motivations...... It just wants to make me shake me head back and forth. Why do other people think they know my own personal motivation..or that I even had motivation? Can people not do things to just be nice? Can they not do them because it is the right thing to do? Does everything everyone does have to have a motive behind it?
I find myself doing it as well. Assuming that I know another person's intentions and motivations. Now, unless they flat out told me their exact motivation.... there is no way I can assume it and be 100% accurate, perhaps not even close to being accurate.
Today someone pulled right in front of me into a parking garage. I thought to myself, "now that was rude... what makes them think they have the right to do that? They are in such a hurry... they had to cut me off." I pulled in behind them, after grumbling under my breath. The car stopped prior to reaching the automatic ticket dispenser. A man exited the car. I was thinking..." for Pete's sake, what now? Must enjoy that I am just stuck here...waiting" As he struggled to stand up and then walk to the dispenser (due to an obvious physical deformity).... I felt about two inches tall. Though he had no idea how much it had irritated me when he pulled in in front of me.... I felt an urge to apologize for being so self centered. How dare I assume his motivation was to cut me off...and then purposely slow me down. What right do any of us have to make a judgement call on someone else when we have no idea of their motivation nor of their circumstances? Like I said, I have done it...I obviously currently still do it. However, I am going to ask God to help me and give me the right motives myself.... I want to think the best of others. I want to be forgiving and loving~ even when they do not deserve it or want it. If we have to think of a motive that someone has, can we at least try to make it a positive one? Let's build them up instead of cutting them down.

Philippians 1:10 (Amplified Bible)

So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble].
