People!
/
Along with writing and teaching truths from the Bible, I’ve also enjoyed the journey of helping people understand PEOPLE!
No small challenge to figure out why people do the things they do, right?
Looking at it behaviorally, it does makes sense. God created us with different genetic tendencies that form us into the individuals we are. For instance, some of you reading this are very outgoing and absolutely LOVE interacting and being around others. You enjoy small talk and enjoy “using you words.”
Others, however, would prefer being alone in a cave – rather than being closed up in a crowded room - forced to interact and carry on conversations that to YOU, seem meaningless.
Being a behavioral style consultant for years has given me a grand appreciation for God’s creativity in the way He designed us as individuals. It has also filled me with an awareness of His Master Plan of calling into relationship, a variety of people to worship and adore Him in personal, yet different ways.
I’m excited this week to bring back some behavioral style teaching for a group of gals coming together for fellowship and fun (yep, I’m one of those styles who LOVE having fun.)
Here’s what I know: God loves people – ALL the people He created!
No matter your style of behavior – GOD LOVES YOU.
You may feel very different at times than those around you. You are!
Why not simply celebrate God’s Master Design in you and offer everything you are back to Him?
Let’s talk to our Designer about it . . .
Father, I celebrate YOU and Your creativity in all those You created. Help me to enjoy my individuality. And rather than getting annoyed by those who are different than I am, help me to understand that You created every single person by breathing Your Breath of Life into their very body and soul. I’m not responsible for how That Truth plays out in their lives - but I am responsible for acknowledging that You gave them life. You want me to unconditionally love them as You unconditionally love me. Thank You dear Jesus – for your Creativity and Your Love. Amen.
