Releasing emotional attachments, and seeking what is right

Rom. 1:14-15 - I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome (NIV)…

We can't continue to only agree with who we like, who agrees with our position or emotional triggers, or reach out to those who align with us but we must reach across the aisle for the best outcome for the whole body.  We should agree with the right position, not connection or what we have the right to do, or on our side. It is self-destructive and self-defeating. No one has ever grown, developed, transformed, or achieved by not willing to seek right and move outside of their comfort zone. They may receive celebrity status but yet crippled psychologically, emotionally, or spiritually.  They are stunted and remain in the place where they stopped growing; look and see its all around you; until the work is gone back to repair, deal with it, it is the monkey on the back that breaks us.  The reason God said, come as you are, not wait until you are closer to getting it right; He knows you, me or us can't do it by our self. 

See, God entertains questions, for He knows the questions are not just about the questions but also the questioner. If you fail to address the questioner, you fail to address the question.  The reason He answered with parables and/or another question.  He understood it was more than the question in words being asked. The question had to come from somewhere, it was not idle chatter, inane questions, just because who, or where it comes from; out the mouth of the babes truth speaks, so truth, revelation can come from those we think of as clowns; they could be the clowns of God to teach us, not hinder us.  So, seek to release the emotional attachments that connect you and box you in, impeding your sustaining growth.   Seek after what is right, what provides legacy and move you beyond legendary in this life because legends are greater but legacy leaves something to build upon. However, legacy comes from a unselfish place where the things done affect others, and the person is not infected by the chaos around them. ..It is tight, it difficult, at times lonely, but it is right…  It is your choice, choose wisely…Its important...
