Have It Your Way

“Have it your way”. That’s not even true at Burger King. Just try to get a mustard whopper without onions or with extra pickles or no lettuce. It’s not happening.
Don’t change up their plan. It’s better to get a BK Value Meal…just like on the menu. And don’t be too fussy about that being right. I understand that in many places there is no Burger King, no hamburger, and no sesame seed bun…just hunger and poverty; and here I am complaining about the fact that they put the cheese on the wrong side of the burger.

I’ve given up on having it my way.

Besides, my way is not necessarily the best way.

I think the world is just trying to suck me into some Godless vacuum.
Trying to tell me I can be my own god and have everything my way.

While that sounds great, it’s just not true.

Life is such a paradox.

I’ve decided I’m better off, at least in the long run, not “having it my way” but having it God’s way.
Someone told me humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking less about yourself; or to put it another way…thinking more of others.


Thank you Lord for all my many blessing
Please Lord help me put others needs ahead of mine.
Please, Lord Jesus, help me to understand the benefits of “having it Your way”.



Amen
