I know this may sound simplistic, but all I want to do in my life right now is please God. I've finally figured out that no matter how hard I try, someone is going to misunderstand, feel hurt, disappointed or dissatisfied. It's not that I don't care...I'm just exhausted!
As long as there are more than 2 people in this world, there will be differences of opinion and perspective. One person will want or need things that are diffrent and sometimes even contrary to the needs of the other. Sometimes when this type of conflict arises compromise is key. Other times it becomes a matter of what God says about the matter.
For me, I'm no longer interested in a whole lot of compromise. I've almost compromised myself right out of God's plan for MY life. What I need in 2010 is for a whole bunch of people to GET UP OFF ME!!!! I'm gone do me. I need you to go ahead and do you. I'm not interested in what YOU think I should do. I'm not really interested in putting my stuff on hold while I tend to your lack of initiative and responsibility.
I'm not being ugly or anything, because I really love everybody, but because I love God more, I have to live a life that pleases Him. I have to accomplish the things that He's assigned ME to do. I realize now that if I do that, everything with everybody will eventually be cool. The scripture says in Proverbs 16:7 "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." I think I'm gonna go ahead and do that.
Peace and Power!
Pastor Will
