Posted in Lessons I Have Learned
God and I have been having a difference of opinion lately. You see I am a strong willed person! I like having things my way! It is just the way God made me! (Yeah, I have tried to convince Him of that too with no success! LOL) He has made it painfully clear over the past few years that His way is not my way. So I found it quite interesting when I came across this song this week...
So Long Self
By: Mercy Me
Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say
Chorus:
So long self
Well it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, Goodbye, don't cry
So Long Self
Stop right there because I know what your thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Oh, can't you see
Chorus:
Don't feel so bad(don't feel so bad)
There'll be better days(there'll be better days)
Don't go away mad(but by all means just go away)
go away
(4x’s)
Farewell, Goodbye
Oh so long self
So long self! Yes, I am going to have to back off and let God be God! His ways are not my ways. But His ways are perfect, and my ways are incredibly humanly flawed. So even though I have been feeling like the dog who is shut behind the gate for his own good lately, I know I need to let my will go and let His will be done! So, now that I have this concept into my head I hope I can somehow get it into my heart! Apparently not only am I strong willed but I am also a very slow learner! LOL Truly, I am trying!
Your continued prayers would be greatly appreciated!
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.- 1 Th 5:18

I struggle with this myself and like you I am stubborn and a slow learner! I knew we were great friends...don't great minds think alike?
