The Highest Service
we are not called to see our neighbour as we wish through selfishness feed our needs through selfishness use our fears
we are not called to see our neighbour as they wish through selfishness feed their needs through selfishness use their fears
we are called to see our neighbour as God wishes in Him to satisfy their needs through Him to calm their fears
far too often our eyes are like our neighbour’s suspect not seeing the full reality not knowing the demon behind the pain seeing the need but not the deception seeing the fear but not the terror they are lost and know it not we are found and show it not and behind us all Satan laughs but we are called to teach, rebuke, and encourage endowed the holy power of God to tear down the walls that death divides from life
those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will
I realized today that I too often look upon people selfishly, seeing how they fit into my life rather than fitting them into God’s. Text is from 2 Timothy 2:25-26
