So, what are you going to do?

I am not sure what to write about today? So I am going to ramble about something that bugs me…I am wonder what do we do with the knowledge we have? The skill set we have acquired? The gifts we were given by God; you know your gifts and talents were meant to be shared, right… Are we willing to share with others? Do we take time out of our busy day to listen to someone else without trying to make them impress with us and our skills, rather seeking to be impressed with them? Are we so consumed with ‘making it big’, whatever that means to you, we fail to help others who are trying to make it too but have no guidance or direction? Do we rest on traditions, what we are use to, as a compass because it easy, and hope someone else does the work so you can go in? Do we think life will not catch up with us, and so our self-absorbed ways of dropping names, throwing in our degrees or expertise, and spitting out our titles or position? Can we not see no one cares about any of these things, unless it brings benefit and growth to them? What are we afraid of that we fail to share with others? Lift someone else up, not at the expense of self, but expansion of self. See lighting another candle with your light does not diminish you. It actually enhances you, and brings more light for all. Why do we wallow in our insecurities, fear, and aloofness pushing people away? Yet, we assume and proclaim we are helping but as soon as someone seeks you out for help assistance, or guidance we feign unavailability because it is not a convenient time for us. When is giving of ourselves ever convenient? Yet, we have the nerve to get upset when others do this to us? Let’s get real. Giving of self is never convenient, not always financially beneficial, or easy. However, we quickly share ourselves in ineffective endeavors which inflate our heads while diminishing our heart. We too quickly surround ourselves with others who feed our ego, but not challenge our intellect or put our integrity to the test. We shy away from, avoid with a vengeance, pretend integrity, and hide behind our intellect so that we do not have be honest with self and live our truth. Because the person who seek your knowledge, desires to learn from you, you forget to call, or reach out as you see their greatest before they do; you do not want anyone else to be greater than you. What if that is your lot to help the one to be the one, does that not make you great? When will we get it, the most precious thing we have in this life is ourselves and our time…John 3:17, yeah 17 not 16 states - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (NIV). Christ came to save the world and he did it through sacrifice of self and time in order to reach out to others. For He realized the reward of reaching out to those who sought him out, and those who needed him was necessary, although it was not always easy, convenient or followed the tradition of that day…So, when are we going to begin living, giving and being the example of Christianity we teach, preach, and sermonize about, or we just going to let the darkness swallow us whole slowly with delays because it is not easy for us…Psalm 103:17-18 - But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts (NIV)…So, what are you going to do…as for me, I am going to live, as hard as it is, as inconvenient as it will become, the precepts, how about you?...
