why?
why would i want to stay away from
the people who love me the most?
i've always been an introverted person.
i never really liked working in groups. not because i didnt like the people.
just because i thought it was easier to get things done by myself.
and i realized that when i work in groups i get angered and irritated easily.
again, why?
this question has always been present in my soul.
why do i constantly push myself away from others?
up until now, i was okay with leaving that question unanswered,
but recently, i've had this question on my heart.
so i went to god. and he told me why.
he told me that for so long i had relied on only myself
because im afraid.
afraid of rejection. afraid of humiliation.
that someone wont like my ideas, or thoughts, or
just wont like me.
for so long, i had pushed others away because i am truely afraid of what would happen if i didn't.
fear of rejection=self reliance
but god also told me something else.
that this habit was definetly bad.
as the body of christ, we must work together. we must rely on each other for help, and also be able to give help when needed.
we must constantly surround ourselves with other followers of christ.
fellowship.
and when we do that,
we can truley change the world.
1 corinthians 12:27-
now you are the body of christ,
and each one of you is a part of it.
Really great post, Abbie.
