This morning, I had the gift of having someone misunderstand me and not give me the opportunity to give a rebuttal. I really appreciated the time to calm down and get into a happy place again before starting our gratitude call.
When there is a misunderstanding, choose compassion. I got to feel what it is like when someone doesn’t give you the benefit of the doubt. And I don’t like how it feels!
I cannot control another person’s willingness to understand, but I can control my own ability to be patient and understand. I may have a gift of discernment, intuition and feeling another’s emotions (empathic). I can never know exactly what is going on inside an individual unless they share openly and honestly.
I can always give the opportunity to share so we can get on the same page. I can control my ability to ask and listen. I also can control my ability to listen and understand my self.
When I know that I am enough, I don’t have to take anything from anyone else, because I am whole and complete. When I see others as enough, I don’t have to fix them. I can allow them to have their issues and their emotions separate from me. When I see God as enough, I trust that He has me and He has everyone else in his hand.
If we can do that, we can all keep our own stuff: me, God and others. I don’t have to play savior and I don’t have to take on the crisis that belongs to someone else.
We all have a portion of Christ’s light within us. So we all feel compassion. But even Christ did not take on the pains and suffering of others during His ministry. He only did that as a single act that was pre-determined specifically for Him. He was not diminished by serving others. And neither should we be.
