Today while brushing my teeth, I was thinking about how frustrating it can be to have 2 extremes of myself; the driven jock business side and the musician deep sensitive side. The two extremes seem to always pull so heavily in opposite directions and I end up getting upset with myself. Today, however, was different. After asking the Lord the why the heck did He makes such a random assortment of me... the thought popped in my head, "maybe I don't have to make the two extremes converge. Perhaps I don't have to have this perfect balance of personality. Maybe I can just be myself, do the best I can, and love the Lord. Maybe I can just let myself BE."
What if we were all just ourselves and didn't try to make ourselves be someone else, something else, more balanced, more calm, more excitable, more reasonable, more. more more...
What if we were just exactly who we were made to be and just rested in that truth. Seriously if we just love God and love our neighbor we fulfill everything God would want us to do and be... love never fails. Why do we make things so complicated, especially in ministry. Love is my ministry and I can do that in any context at any time because Love itself resides in me.
