Audio: The Fray – Unsaid
I’ve received an opinion “with love.” A reminder, of sorts. I’ve still yet to clarify it fully, but suffice to say there are those who are disappointed.
And who am I kidding? These are those whose opinions matter.
Then it got me to thinking about what they say. I began to decipher what I wanted, what I expected:
Starting Point: what I (humanly) wanted to hear from them are commendations for how last year went and how well I did.
Then it got me to see, who do I really strive to please?
Premise #1: I do what I do to gain not people’s commendation, but for God’s smile from heaven at my worship, my ministry, my life.
But do I prevent myself from listening to their critique?
Premise #2: I do still think their opinions matter.
So? What do I do?
Minor Conclusion: I want to clarify my position.
How? Or do I should just listen to what they have to say?
Premise #3: I have to enter this with an open mind, and respect all they say, as much as it hurts. Only then do I get my turn to express my side.
It’s only fair, and they would not let me not have a say. But most importantly:
Conclusion: I want to hear God have a say.
But I don’t have an answer, not yet. Which leaves me today just, cracking my head.
And seeking.
When I can’t feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can’t hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray
And i want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I’m made more faithful.
-Brooke Fraser-
Amen.
