Values

Every day is a series of choices that make me a better person (I hope.). I always try to acknowledge the other person, but so many times I focus on myself and the relationship with the other person rather than the other person and the relationship to me. It is in this relationship that I can start to understand what my life should be. Or at least that is what my fingers are telling me as I type these words.


Do I really get that it is the other person that makes me who I am supposed to be in this life? I am never complete without relationship, and a relationship is never complete without others in the mix that are fully in the relationship. It can’t be that someone is partially in a relationship and still be fully committed to the relationship.

I think of this in the context of my relationship with the Lord. Can I truly be in the relationship if I am holding something back from the relationship? It seems a confusing point to me. I can always be in a relationship, but never fully receiving the grace that God intended if I continually place a barrier between me and the wall of choices in front of me.

I need to focus on the choice of living life with God at the center of my life or with God as only a part of my life. The choice is mine to make. I need to only make it so that my values lead me in life rather than control my life.


Talk to you again soon.
