What I learned today about doing God’s will

[jennifer_bloom]

People have in the past said I had behavioural issues

My TA’s said I disrespected them by being rude and abrasive

My professors said I didn’t know the difference between a buddy and a formal course instructor by being too personal or revelatory or casual in my conversations with them

My other professors hated me for exposing their bell curving practices to people online

Mu pastors hated me for my blatant discussion of their religious and spiritual authority

I evolved out of my old confrontational and aggressive ways with acts of kindness and constant meditation and service designed to glorify God’s name

What I learned today is that you don’t always choose your friends

Sometimes God or nature or circumstances choose your friends

If you have an annoying family member who never understands you or views you in an idealistic way and yet that person changed your diapers and clothed you

That obnoxious and annoying family member is your friend

If you have a coworker who is always gossiping about you and then they become very sick

That annoying coworker is the person God has asked you to be kind to

Instead of fantasizing about the Harvard deacons and NBA players you want to party with;

Acknowledge the mentally ill smoker who is begging you to socialize with them

Maturity is about not just pursuing your dream life but also about showing kindness to the people who pursue you, even if they annoy you

To me, I'm always causal with my college professors but it also helps that I was at a community college but i love talking with them about things after class, it was so much fun

In dark times, only God can lead you back to the path of light.

Yeah I spent a lot of time last year not partying with non Christians because I didn't want to be involved in their worldly affairs but I never realized it was an opportunity to make a difference and show them the truth. Good for you :)

If half the world hated me as well I think I'd turn to God too.

Or May be the devil

That's true nobody has ever went on a killing spree claiming they're doing God's work. And who would you you rather get on a plane with a Satanist or a religious fanatic?

So god nature or circumstances choose your friends. How do know which one actually did?
