To 'fix' me is not the job of any human! It is the job of God and God alone!
I know I am not perfect! I will never be perfect in the eyes of any human, as we all disagree on what perfection is!
And to all those who tell me that I have issues, let he, or she who has solved ALL their issues perfectly, cast the first stone!
I know I have issues! They are listed in a particular order on a list that only God has. He and He alone knows the time, date and order when these issues will be dealt with - IN HIS WAY! As I said, no human can 'fix' me!
I have learnt this for myself, and I'm slowly learning to accept it for others! I think it's time that we all learned this one!
Its called not judging!
I had some stuff going on, and I had the pleasure of seeing a psychologist to help me! He didn't judge me! Instead, he encouraged me, he pointed out all the things right with me (which I thought was few and far between), he guided me to a different perspective and let me and God sort out the rest! He didn't tell me how crap I was! I already felt that way! He didn't tell me to stop doing something, he just encouraged a new perspective! And, even though he was a complete stranger, I felt I could trust him (which was a huge thing for me!)!
This example is the kind of thing that we should probably try to do for others! Instead of healing a pile of shit on their shoulders, we should encourage them in the good they are doing, and simply choose to shut up about the bad! Easier said than done - I am still struggling with this with a couple of people I know! And boy, can it be frustrating!
If we seek God about a situation, person or whatever, and He gives us instructions. We need to follow them! If He says to pray for that 'emotional vampire', then that is what we should do! If He says to limit the interaction with them, then that is what is to be done!
God knows all of us, our issues and what we each need! If we go around telling someone that the situation that they find themselves in is adulterous (whilst it may be 100% true), we have over stepped our place! What is the situation? Where are they both at spiritually, emotionally and physically? And by opening our mouths, have we, who have our own issues, cast the first stone?
Jesus wrote in the sand until all, not one or two, but ALL the accusers walked away!
Do I have what it takes to drop the stones in my hands? Do you have what it takes to drop the stones in your hands?
But what if it is blatant sin, something that the person knows is wrong? - My advice - SHUT UP! If you need to talk to someone about it, then go to God! He knows how to deal with it! And you know what else - He already knows about it! And, He has probably set situations and circumstances in motion to bring about His glory through that person! How awesome is that?
We need to let God be the God, and let ourselves be the humans! We make pretty crap Gods! Jesus made an awesome human, but that was because He was also God! How about we let God do His job? And remember, my idea of perfect for you is not Gods idea of perfect for you! Your mothers idea of perfect for you, is not Gods idea of perfect for you!
We need to stop trying to change each other, and instead, ask that God will change us! So person A needs to stop trying to change person B and start praying that God will change person A!! God will deal with person B in His own sweet time! And person A may never be a part of that change!
Get your own shit sorted out, and once you are perfect in Gods eyes, and if He leaves you on earth, you might just be slightly qualified to start fixing other humans, but I doubt that - because you are not God!
May Gods blessings shower down upon you. And may you be coated in the dust of your Rabbi!
