Stop, Look and Listen!

So, you have been spending your life pleasing others! Your congregants, your not-so-superior superiors, your family and your friends...seeking approval and validation. What a shallow and superficial life you have been leading! Have you not discovered that being what others want you to be is not 'being' at all?

To be free from these motivations brings real life to those who have the courage to brea
k free from such narcissistic behaviors. Resolve, today, to sit quietly in the presence of God and pray through to the discovery of who you really are and who you should really be pleasing. It will slow you down and lift you up. It will free your imagination and help you see what is of real importance in life. It will empower you to do what God really wants you to do, notwithstanding the presence of others whom you thought were so important! 





Whatever track you are 'barreling' down, it may be wise to Stop, Look, and Listen! Cease the meaningless forced smiles, the gratuitous pats on the back (learned behaviors), the never ending pursuit of attention and Look for the 'Peace in Service' that can be yours. Mostly, Listen to God's Holy Spirit who will make you the genuine article! Believe me, others will take notice when you have accomplished this and they will see you in a new, more favorable light.
