Living in a one way world

I consistently find myself living in a world that is full of one ways. The problem is that these 'One Way' episodes are rarely God's but are the imposition of other people's attitudes. If it is not done their way they pout, strop and even ignore and to be honest, I'm getting just a little fed up with it.

You must know the sort of people I am thinking of. Those who tell you what they consider you 'need to know' rather than give you the full picture. they tell you what they want and keep the majority of the information to themselves. they retain their right to privacy and yet demand to know every jot and tittle regarding your life, ministry, whatever.

These are the people who consider that the world revolves around them and their 'needs' (which to me often seem like the wants you might find in a pouty, toe-pointy five year old) - they are the focus of everything and their personal woes, angst and desires shape the rest of the world, for nothing can be more important than them!

Time to draw lines - to decide that the time has come to go no further - to be as covetous of our own life and time with God. Has to be good.

Today is the day when some people will find a shock coming to them and I'll find a bit of space, peace and balance. end of the driven and beginnings of the soaring on God's breath, taken by His desires not the imposed desires of others.

Today is gonna be a good day (for me), what about you?

PTL!
