I was listening to Undercover's Balance of Power the other day as well, and a line that was really sticking in my thoughts (that seems to pertain somehow to this also) is "A million questions burning...begging for the answers, continue looking through the eyes of love". That's one of the hardest things for me to do when facing frustration or betrayal or confusion or anything like that, is to stay grounded in something beyond all of it and continue looking through the eyes of love. my natural reaction is to harbor bitterness or frustrated judgementalism towards those who "just don't get it", or those who have hurt me (even when the source of that hurt is God or life itself, the way things are). Even though it continues to be a major temptation or tendency with me, I've long ago given up trying to change what others think. If I can't lead by example and be what I claim to think or believe, then I figure I should probably just shut up. why do I think I can change others if I can't change myself? Humility and love are the hardest things to cultivate and maintain, but the most essential.Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941025887514143276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-11995302543539228982008-05-20T17:12:00.000-06:002008-05-20T17:12:00.000-06:00Thanks!
