Changing your perspective can change you from a fool to a wise man OR from a wise person to a fool. The old saying goes if you continue to do what you've always done and expect different results you are insane.
If you are used to an unhealthy toxic environment and you continue to search out that environment you are asking to be in pain. If you are used to being hurt and then expecting everyone around you to hurt you, it will come to you and you will end up hurt. The people who are successful and considered wise or not those who are the most popular the most fun-loving or the most zealous, they are the ones that have the proper perspective on what is going on around them.
When another treats them callously they don't take it personally.
They understand that it is about that person not about them.
When someone isn't behaving in the manner that you think that they ought to understand that that is about you ultimately and not about them.
There is something about your behavior that you are not correcting and so continue to be bothered by their behavior.
Luke 10:38“Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. ”
Let's consider Martha and Mary. When Christ was teaching Mary chose to sit at the feet of Christ and absorbed the wisdom and the teaching. Martha thought making preparations and making sure everyone was comfortable and taking care of was the priority. When she attempted to get Christ to take her side she found herself being corrected instead of agreed with. Many times we feel we are right. We feel that we have done are doing the right thing and others are in the wrong. Satan knows exactly what will offend you, hurt your feelings, and get you more focused on people and their actions than on what the Father is doing. What is your purpose here? What is your point? Is it to be with people, is it to have friends, to make money and to be of this Earth? Or is it to support the Father's work and to focus on the job he gave you?
We spend so much time focused on other people and what they are doing and how they are behaving and what they are how they are conducting themselves that we missed our own directives, blessings, and instructions. We miss with the father is really doing. Don't miss your encounter because you are to focused on someone else!!
