Hello world-wide-web,
Heavenly Father, thank you for continuing to love us no matter what stupid things we do, say or think. I am always amazed Heavenly Father, when I realize You truly love us Unconditionally. Teach me to be that way, Lord. Show me how it's done. I want to see everyone as You see them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
This past weekend I was Spiritually reminded again of how important humility is, in all circumstances. I was taking a walk around the park this past Saturday afternoon - when the weather was absolutely gorgeous - and I was talking to the Lord, offering up prayers.
Once I was done talking to Jesus, I began obsessing about a family situation - and maybe this happens to you too, my four loyal readers - when you're bored, you too tend to obsess over idiotic things. Well I took the obsessing a step further and was getting self-righteous, thinking I had all the answers, wondering why people don't just ask me what they should do, or what I would do in certain situations...Because I've 'got it all together' and could help them. LOL
That's when I heard Jesus say, "Don't EVER think you have all the answers, or know what's best for people! Leave that to Me. You are only to Love. That's all I made you for: Love. It was out of Love you were created, and out of Love you are to create positive relationships. Listen, I Love You despite all the foolishness you do, why would I feel any differently about your Brother or Sister?"
"Yes, Lord," and I really meant it. I was humbled and it was a good feeling - to know I don't have all the answers and I'm not responsible for other's actions. I only lead by example.
This thought hit me as well: I honestly believe people just want to be loved for who they are, and where they are in life. That's all any of us really wants. We know we do stupid things, but it's still nice to know we'll be accepted, despite these mess-ups.
The next time I feel like the $h1t, I'm going to pray to the Lord to take me down as only he can: gently.
God bless ya.
