Let Them “Be”

 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8

The boys and I watched a couple amazing videos today in class. I hope you’ll take a look at them too. They really touched me and made me realize how we need to let go of expectations in order to see God’s true plan. They’re about a dog that was a failure according to the rules, but as her owner said, “When I let go of who I wanted her to be, and just let her “be” she completely flourished, and I reveled in knowing she’s perfect just the way she is.”

Are our expectations keeping someone from flourishing?  Our thoughts are not the Lord’s, neither are our ways His.

God made us all different.  Today, don’t try to mold someone into what you think they should be.  It just might lead you out of frustration and allow them to flourish.  It will release them into God’s plan.  Anything is possible then!
