I feel frustrated today. I don't want to imply I am nicer than I really am or more generous than I really am, because I'm nothing special on either account. I'm sure the people close to me can give a long list of my many faults. However, I do tend to *desire* to show more compassion and generosity when it is an option. I'm not really a fan of the whole tough love, don't enable people train of thought. I think there is a place for that but I have seen too often people use that attitude as an excuse to withhold grace. That is one of my triggers when people withhold grace and somehow word it in a way that they are doing it in the name of Christ.
The trouble is I am starting to feel a little like a door mat, I know balance is the key. I have never been good at balance. Lately I feel a little lost because the traits that seem to define me are sometimes making me unhappy. I'm still figuring it out.
I am so still trying to figure that all out too, buddy!! I hear ya though.
