The Grass
Hello Savior, my Friend and my All Powerful Divine,
I need to come to You for a moment to open my heart and unwind.
I'm tense, frustrated, hurt and angry
because fellow Christians made harsh remarks that cause me to decree:
that I hate these people and I can't stand to see their face.
They call themselves giving me advice when they're really intruding in my space.
I want to leave, I want to make another church my home.
Yet the grass always seems greener on the other side, no matter where I roam.
So is it possible the problem is not them, but me?
Is it possible that I'm the cause of my own misery?
The grass always seems greener on the other side...
Proverbs 13:10 says contention cometh only by pride.
I see that I have to change, but I have a hard time accepting the truth:
in order to grow I need correction, I need warnings, I--NEED--REPROOFS!
I don't want to accept this, I'm okay the way I am.
But the truth is You're telling my heart to stop fighting against Your plan.
I NEED people who are willing to avoid lies and give me honest reproof.
The ox goad is better than words that come from a lying tooth.
Thank You Lord for allowing me to see the error in my ways.
When the grass seems greener on the other side, my level of maturity needs to raise.
