Once in while we realize that we have a problem because we don't want to
accept the solution.
I took a class once on what was the proper intrevenous solution to give a
patient. Sometimes physicians will routinely give the same solution to each
patient without consideration the patients individual need. We then can
cause a cascade of problems if we give the wrong solution. A clever lady
next to me said, "This time the solution is the problem!"So to it is with us Christians. Jesus is the solution to all of our
problems. The problem is his solution is not what we want to comply with. We
read his words, like turning the other cheek and loving our enemies and will
agree in our mind that this is the utmost highest priniciple yet think we
have an option to use it depending on the circumstances according to us. So
we continue to have the same social problems, they don't go away and they
realy disturb our peace. We know in our spirit what the right responce to
the situation should be but resist following through with it. God keeps
sending us the same problem. Our family, social and spiritual life continues
to deteriorate. We continue to manuever, whether by physicaly moving,
emotional withdrawel, or continual activity.There is no peace when the solution to our problems is ignored.
There are stones in our heart that we must allow God to remove. They have
been buried there by pain. Jesus wants to remove them so we can be healed
and become effective and loving Christians. We can't love like Jesus unless
we allow him to remove these stones.I acknowledge the stones in my heart that resist your spirit. Please remove
them one at a time your way. I can not be one with you by holding on to any
of these stones. Your spirit can not flow thruogh me if I ignore your
solution to my problems.I am the problem, your are the solution.
