I guess today’s nooma clip was for me too…
I’ve always been trying my best to fit into a pair of shoes that was far too big for me. And thinking that i can only be good if i’m able to fit into that pair of shoes. I’ve attempted many times to make decisions while standing in those pair of shoes. And feeling disappointed in myself that my feet are just too small and i often trip and fall while trying to walk in them.
But God created me for my pair of shoes. And in trying so hard to fit into another pair… i think God might be looking from heaven and wondering why i’m doing what i’m doing (well, then again, God don’t wonder la, He knows) He’s created a pair of shoes specially made to fit into my legs, customised to walk in the path i’m suppose to go, and here am i struggling to fit into a pair that wasn’t made for me in the first place. And seeking to walk the path that might not be for me. And in doing so, my own pair of shoes are left in the cupboard, collecting dust and being a home to many spiders.
So it’s time to stop attempting to fit into that pair which is obviously made for someone else, embrace the gift God has bestowed upon me, understand we all have our strengths and weaknesses. And realising that God is not a partial God, and believing that my strength and weakness under His hands fit perfectly into His plan. To stop wanting to be seen in a certain way and doing things to please another, or to live up to the expectation of another. To allow myself the grace to learn and make mistakes and grow along the way. And to give others a chance to see me for me, and accept that i am me and I’m not the same as others.
Gal 1:10…
only pleasing my Father.
