One common bond

   Still moments where I want to scream seem so
overrated. I tire of the excuses that people say to
make everything in their life, seem okay. I realize
that imperfection is everywhere but some things,
statements take the cake.

    Ah this is greatly, a time, where I need Jehovah
to help me control my temper. To ask him to help
let the imperfections of so many just slide off my
back. I hope that I learn to let nothing affect my
chances of sitting at his grand table.

    Still I wonder how does that person's conscience
feel when they make excuses and end up using me
to justify their faults. How did their imperfections
become my fault? I did not fail you, you did that
on your own. Oh Jehovah help me to understand
the methods of some people.

    Quietly I walk away to ponder, meditate on the
things I have learned and achieved just to gain a
better perspective on those who are so very
unlike me in personality.

    Remind me ever so often that in many cases
there, still, remains only ONE common bond. I
must remember to maintain my sincerity and
integrity to you, Jehovah otherwise I am certain
my heart would make war from a speck of
dust where there should only be peace.

    Remind me, oh Jehovah, to be kind to all those
who use others to gain pity for themselves. I strive,
daily, to stay sane when once again they complain
of the "impending" issue. How else can I stand there
and listen? Jehovah has me, reminding me to
remain quiet, to be of support, a listening ear.

    As I lean on Jehovah I learn, every day, there
is much I need from him to stay standing against
the raging storm all around me. How wonderful I
feel, even in moments of insecurity, that Jehovah is
there to pick me up, lead me to the right places.

    Would you not love a Father, a friend that could
never lie and loved you even in the darkest, worst
moments in your life? Then to have this same person
turn around and teach you how to be the best of
who he expects you to be? Even better knowing
that he gives you a voice so that you can teach others
about all you have been taught. Would you not want
someone like that in your life?

    Jehovah loves his children. He cannot lie to you.
So all you have to do is search for him and he will
find and help. Just ask.
