PEOPLE!!!
Oh how hard it is, at times, to face a new day knowing you will be facing the same people you faced the day before...
The ungrateful...
The ever needy "rescue me" people
The two-face, stab you in the back people
The critical, angry, hurt and unforgiving people
The "I am your best friend" (until you fail them in some way unitentionally)
The Fake people...you know, the ones that are always smiling and claim to never have a care in the world...never being honest about how they feel.
The Judgmental people (and the list goes on and on).
{Some days I find myself, more increasingly, wanting to withdraw from society....PEOPLE to be blunt...and find a place of solitude where only myself, my dogs, and my Heavenly Father exist.
I envision so much peace and love that it fills the entire atmosphere around us and everything comes back to life and shines with such beauty that it is too awesome to describe in words.}
I ask myself why do I struggle so hard to understand people and to be understood by them as well....Is it just me provoking those around me to act or react to my ways of thinking, communicating, or believing? Do I fail to meet their expectations of me?
I spend most of my time serving those around me in their needs...without expecting anything in return..I like to serve others. But where do I find the balance between serving others and still take care of my own needs without upsetting someone? How can I be true to myself and try to become more like them? I can't, yet I find myself changing or correcting some of my ways that may be offensive to them...and after making those changes they find other things I need to change for them to be able to enjoy my presence in their life....and when I have made all these changes and am now acting, thinking, and talking just like them they begin to hate me even more....
My Conclusion in all this is they simply don't like themselves...who I was before changing was who they secretly wanted to be and couldnt.....
Moral of the story...be true to yourself and the only change you ever need to make is the change in your heart to be more like Jesus!
Amen
