In a Faith that demands denial of self it is perhaps irony or obstruction of God’s Will to allow individualism to drive daily regimen. Me wanting something doesn’t make it right or the best choice on the list of those things which are good for mankind. There must be an Objective Truth. Praise God there is. HIM. In Jesus’ name.

How do I fit in with the Body of Christ if it is always about the list of my wants, desires and likes? That’s right they are diametrically opposed ways of living. This story was very seldom about me, my history, successes, imposed will or list of things I want to see happen forcing all to comply. It is about denying those and following God.

Strangely that threatens those who adhere to a doctrine of obtaining or attaining the plateaus of self doctrine. We would think that we are not narcissistic, therefore giving in to the needs of the many over the me would be simple. However, we see that often it is the single largest obstacle to unity in the Body of Christ.

Strong willed people force a disservice to this unity, by driving, controlling or steering the current and the mission statement toward a reflection of personal mandate or philosophical simile. That to be honest has always been the root of my failures ironically rooted in a relentless pursuit of personal success, blinded by its implication.

Met a fellow yesterday who was certain that he didn’t know the answer as evidenced in the peace absent in his life, yet he was absolutely determined that no one could offer any rational suggestion that would impact the situation to alternate outcome. I was so sad for him never availing himself of the miracle and majesty of God’s Spirit.

Perhaps, me simply knowing that it is not always (in fact seldom) about me and more about a respectful, spirit filled blend of ideas and efforts that produce unity of passion and thought. This leads primarily to the healthy search for a directing voice other than or combined with my own perspective list of pursuits.

However the true affected outcome is an alignment to serve the only will outside my own that has the perspective and wisdom beyond the constraints of time and space, the objective Will of God. Only through voluntary surrender to God’s understanding and direction has the sting of losing my own focus simply dissolved in healthy fashion.

I am simply overjoyed when I walk with God. Unlike those who appear to be resisting peace I don’t wonder what is next simply venture forward awaiting the joy of guaranteed mystery. Unlike self rule God always astounds and amazes and leads me away from conflict or trouble that I consistently pursue with passion and disregard.
