Dear Reader's
So you must be wondering where in the world i have been all week. the first part of the week i was kind of moping around frustrated and depressed. yeah i get that way!! OK so the real message is directed to Christians today!!
As Christians there is an expectation and people kind of just assume that you are somewhat perfect!!! yeah right sometimes as a christian we struggle the most. today i want to fill you in on a little secret! We are not Perfect. We are human. OK maybe you are thinking man how many times have i heard that typical thought? "We are only human." I am right there with you.
so earlier this week when i was in my little pity party mode. God used my friend on Monday morning as i awoke i got up and walked around when i looked at the front door i noticed there was a letter i figured maybe mom just dropped off mail for my sister and I. On the envelope was my name so i opened this letter with great excitement for i knew it was from my friend. (p.s I love letters so mysterious you never know what people are thinking.) the words were exactly what i needed to hear that day, how can people be in 2 places but the same words hit just has deep? anyways i carried on my day. then Tuesday the same thing another letter awaited me. but I didn't get it at all at first for when i just wake up my eyes are a bit blurry. anyways i carried on my day and eventually i sat down and read this letter. my friend wrote about how many of us are having a hard time finding our place and we don't need people to try and fix us we just need that listening ear or maybe suggestion's can you relate to the fixing people mentality? on Tuesday night his parents came over and we had such an insightful talk. i got to hear a fathers heart towards his children. yesterday i worked with a whole new attitude. OK if that was not encouraging enough when i woke up again this morning another letter awaited me.
I am here at work and thinking about why do we try to fix people that don't always need to be fixed?does that not annoy you when you are having a moment of crisis and maybe you just need to talk it out and that's that you need the listener to offer fixing. when we are truly broken vessels we can turn to God and we can trust his ways are better then our thoughts and ways. I know easier said then done.
so this i conclude today..... If you are out there reading this with the fixing mentality. maybe you could try listening and then have little suggestions. Goodness knows we need listeners that actually listen. and maybe you are reading this and thinking how dare her say this well it's the truth not just some dusted fact that i pull from a bookcase. and it's what we need to hear me included.
may God bless you today. may he open our ears to hear again may our eyes be fixed on God. peace be over you no matter the circumstances you face today. may Gods perfect love draw you closer to who you are. may you know who you are today where ever you are reader. may this simple truth resonate in your heart of hearts today.
