To be the bigger person
I find it to be such a challenge. That is, to be the bigger person. When your heart aches and your world yanked out from beneath your feet, it is hard to be generous. I miss the girl I was. I was always unbending and relentlessly righteous. No qualms about doing what's right, even at the cost of a great personal sacrifice on my part. Years ago, I lost something. Afterwards, it came back. There's a saying about letting go of something and it coming back means it's destined for you. How about when it's wrenched away again. I want to be the bigger person. Someone who turns the other cheek. It's just that I haven't been tough on myself for a while. I need the practice for whatever it is that's to come. If anyone is reading this, please pray for me. Pray that I have the wisdom to see things as it is and the strength to do the right things.
