I like to fight… I’m not talking about physical conflict… but I like to fight for what I think is right, something I want or for someone who simply can’t . Unlike most, I don’t mind conflict. To a fault, I will not give up and I will not relent once I set my sights on something. I’m certain that those who know me well would confirm this trait in me. I’m not sure any of them would consider it admirable – unless I’m engaging in otherwise uncomfortable conversation for something they want to see happen – but I’m certain they would affirm my tenacity.
With that as background, here’s what I believe God has been trying to teach me over the last several months…
I don’t have to…
… have the last word because He is the only Word
… fight my enemies because He’s already defeated them
… defend my honor because I don’t have any, yet He has given me His
… worry about being right because He is the only One who is
… win because He’s already won
