Reconcililng With One's Self

Reconciling With One’s Self “You do whatever you wish to do. I am not here to judge you, I am only trying to help you.” “Who died and made you king? I don’t have to listen to you!” “You may not value these words now, but one day I pray you will understand.” When others try to help we often take it as a personal injury. Our egos struggle to keep some mysterious exalted status. When we fight hard, scratch deep, yell at the top of our lungs, it is wise to take time to listen and recognize our own cry for help. There is no injustice to one’s self to say he is wrong, in fact, it is critical. It is far worse to know the truth and never acknowledge and modify to reconcile to that essential and life saving truth. John 12:44-50 Jesus cried aloud, 'Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.'
