Just found out something today which really upset me. Its amazing how much other people's opinions of you can affect you. If it were from someone who knows me well and works with me constantly, maybe it would be a fair statement to make. But its not and it shouldn't be affecting me. But it does!
What have I done to deserve this? Is this the price to pay for attempting to live entirely for You? Being persecuted by my own? How do people get so blinded by themselves? So full of themselves that they don't realise that they need to be sensitive to the feelings of others. So much talk going on. So much poison in the church. Within the body of Christ! Dear Lord forgive us! Could I be the one who is wrong? That is a question I have to always ask myself. Or else I might turn out to become like one of them.
Dear Lord, I seek to please only You. I press on so that I can draw nearer to you. I hold my head up high because You walk beside me and I am blameless in Your sight. Give me the strength I need to be silent. So that I will not become like the people who do things that I despise. Remind me to speak blessings and not curses. Teach me to act and speak in love. Amen.
"You have to wait... You have to take this time to prepare... So that you will be ready. Have you forgotten... I do not forget!"
This was a word from Patricia when she prayed for me during prayer meeting. This is what I should be focusing on. Not on the politics. But I have this to say.
God's plans are bigger than you, your ideas and your games.
::: Song of the Day :::
Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find the place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time give us a kiss
Tell me your own Politik
Give me one, cause one is best
And in confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
And don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Oh Love, tell me your own politik
Just open up your eyes
And give me love over desire
