Do Not Engage

                                                                                                                                           

So many fingers are pointed at people who really tries to be better. Who really tries to do what Jesus did, but we are just giving them a chance? Damn, we ourselves are not given a chance. It’s tough inside you, and it’s so tough out there. We want love, but we ourselves do not want to show love. We want people to stay but, we don’t want to stay a minute longer when the going gets tough. We want forgiveness, we actually expect forgiveness even though it’s undeserved but we refuse to forgive the one who really needs it. Some people cannot move on if they haven’t been forgiven by a person. It literally cuts them into pieces on the inside.

We want grace but just don’t want to be gracious to others and just continue to cast the stones. We have been betrayed by many on many occasions, and what do we do, we decide to fight back wit that same fire. Yes, I’m writing this but you know what, I’m struggling too. I’m struggling with all of the above and I thank God for GRACE.

SOLUTION TO THE ABOVE:

If we want to be like Jesus, be the one that stays when everyone walks away.

Be the one who forgives, when it is undeserved.

Be the one to show grace when everyone else is casting stones.

Be the one to show love, even when they betray you, because that is what Jesus would do.

This solution is something to really work on. It will be very hard at first, because for many centuries this has been an ongoing struggle but believe me, it can be done.

Look at Paul the apostle. Persecutor of Christ followers, CHANGED FOREVER. Paul admits that the human nature is the one taking over and sin lives in it. (Romans 7:15-25 GNB)

The human nature also believes that the Law is right and forgets that Grace came. We are distracted by so many things. We want to take on too much and, we focus on everything others does. We cannot go one day without watching their statuses, their IG stories, their Facebook posts and we really get upset because what they put up their ruins our whole day and the story isn’t even about us personally. Some of the stories are though, experienced it myself many times, but what is the right thing for me to do? DO NOT view them then I won’t get upset. Our human nature is a massive problem. It rules us.

The human nature and the spiritual nature are like two dogs inside of us fighting. One must win. Who do you think wins? THE ONE WE FEED THE MOST! Many times, it’s the human nature. How can we stop this, DO NOT ENGAGE in the battle? You are absolutely right. Everything outside of our control weighs us down. Lay it aside. Shake it off. BE FREE. The child that angers you, the husband that angers you, that colleague that provokes you or who’s just angry at you for whatever reason you can’t think of, walk away.

My heart definitely feels lighter after this massive reminder. I hope you feel light?
