Sitting on the deck of a Beach house. The Island is calling my name, so loudly that it is deafening. The sound, the peace, the view, the solitude, the pure magnitude…screaming at me. The love of this solitude kinda scares me…hopefully not a sign. Looking at the vast ocean, it’s unending horizon, the endlessness, strangely reminds me of our vast differences. These thoughts are more than likely because of the amazing magnitude of God’s creation.
Looking through the sea oats, and thinking how they are the same, yet each one is different, not unlike us. We are all human, yet… Born in different cultures, traditions, family dynamics, birth order, different physically. You and I don’t see the same thing, think the same thing, learn the same things even in the very same situation. Think about that for a moment.
Yet we tend to judge, be arrogant enough to think we know what is best for others. How vain! Sadly, sometime we actually listen to others and not God. Seriously, how insecure! We each have all the tools we need, but because of circumstances, excuses, blame, selfishness and codependence, we miss it! We aren’t listening. And to think we have it all figured out enough to tell other how to act is down right scary. I would hope, actions would speak louder than words. What we need is non-judgmental, loving, understanding friendships. I do NOT have it figured out, but I DO know… GOD has my back.
