Day 80 - Stepping out

Because God wanted to receive real love He created us and gave us free will to do things. He did it because He wanted to see how much we could change and make an effort to love Him and be what He plans us to be. If He had forced us to love Him, there would be no fun and no purpose for creating us. 


It is hard to step out, but it is possible, God was the first one to do it. I imagine how much His heart hurts when He sees us doing wrong or not obeying His command. It hurts on Him but all He can do is be patient because at the end it is our choice.


Even with people we love, we may want to lead them or force them to do things the way we want because we want what's best for them, the problem is, they have to come to a sense and realize what is good for themselves, again, patience is the word. It is hard to see the ones we love or people we care about harming themselves or not acting the best way, I guess that's what God goes through constantly throughout our lives. 


The attitude we should have is to be open to learn from others and admit when we are wrong. After that, ask God for wisdom and less of a hard head, as it is all about His will and not ours, just as Jesus did:

"Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done." Luke 22:42
