Something I've observed.
We all have personal feelings about things. And thats ok we are all individuals and have our own point of view.
But here is something that few people realise, you cant MAKE someone do something they don't really want to do, or do things and expect EVERYONE else to see it your way.
But what usually happens is the person with the LOUDEST voice just shouts down everyone else, does their thing, and expects everyone else to follow along. They might accuse everyone else of being selfish and self-centred, when actually, they are being selfish in themselves expecting everyone else to see things their way. (Cos their way, is naturally....the right way? uh really? )
But...what about God? Maybe at times He does see people as different and wants one person to go one way, and another to go in an opposite direction. Why would He do that? Instead of them going together? Well, I can think of several reasons.
1. He might want you both to spread the gospel even further in BOTH directions. That way you can cover more ground
2. He might want one to start and the other to come in a bit later
3. He might want to grow you or give you skills that complement the other person so its more a give and take rather than one person bossing the other around.
4. He might be testing your heart to see really how faithful you will be to Him, even if NOBODY else follows you.
So, in conclusion what is the cure?
