Last year at Summer Madness, an artist called Paul Colman was telling a story about a gay man he had met on one of his flights across the world. There he had said,
'It's our job to love them and God's job to change them'..
At the time I loved this saying. It became my motto, what I was going to base my life on, loving people and letting God change them.
But its not really that easy. I'm the type of person who wants to fix things, to make them the way they should be and to try and make people feel happy.
Recently this has challenged me, to just love people and not to try to change them. Not to try to fix all their problems, which always stresses me out way too much, but to let God do his thing which is far better than I could ever do.
I think that sometimes when we try to help or 'fix' people and dont succeed we think we havent done our best or have failed at making them happy..
The thing i've realised is that even though God loves my attempts to help people, he knows what they need and he is the only one who can provide it. So, its time to sit back and allow God to change people..
It's my job to love them.
