What is it about people? Them? Us? Me?
What is it within us that watches for failure and assumes incompetence first? Is it a need we nurture? To be better and superior over others? A head of the game! Knowing it all. Being it all.
Does our god complex create a judgmental monster? A secret wish for another to trip and we can hold within us the pride of how that didn't happen to me?
How the pendulum swings from one side of our bipolar moral clock to the other depending on the crowd we are with.
Haughty, with head held high.
Not a wealth or poverty issue. It's not an education or lack of issue. This seeming desire cuts across all humanity.
It is a heart issue.
It is power and control, pure and simple.
And it's a trip, most definitely.
To be above someone else or to be needed or to be some motherly, plantation owner, administrator of the world type role. Or to be "helping."
Those of us in the education, ministerial and helping fields have the most dangerous level of power.
Assuming incompetence and watching for failure is a sign of a sick and needy heart and a sick and needy world.
It's a heart issue and a way of thinking.
Vengeance, judgement, reward...are God's job.
We need to seek His forgiveness! Seek His mercy for creating our own job descriptions and being entrepreneurs in the people changing business.
We are only His hands, feet and servant. We are to do what He says.
"Oh God, take over your rightful position of authority in my life and in the world. I'm so sorry for everything I have made it. For thinking my presence and my great teaching and strategies make any difference what soever. I surrender to you all of my expectations. Please clean and heal our hearts.
