When
we give our individual selves to God or even to another person, we can find and
have the opportunity for the life to absorb the hurts and helps that come our
way.
We
do not have to give up our independence that is linked with our personality as
to who we are. We can enter a shared independence that maintains our unique
individuality. Motivation does change. God joins our individual self, that part
actually made originally in His image, Genesis 1. He gives us the power to
absorb hurt and enjoy help at the same time.
We
just have to learn by being better earth repairers and living His
representative as image bearers that show God is still in control. The special
relationships we choose and even those we don’t need to see us living the image
God provides---one of Grace, forgiveness, and long suffering. Meekness is not
weakness. Meekness is seekness, searching how to forgive and how to accept
grace of God and others.
