“But they shook off the dust of their feet
against them, and came unto Iconium.” Acts 13:51
Sadly,
many are unable to avoid posting personal problems on social media. Personal problems
require personal solutions not social attention. Many utilize social media as
well as life as their personal dumping ground. It has been quoted that people
are like garbage trucks. They run around with garbage and full of
disappointment, frustration, anger and bitterness. And when their garbage piles
up, they need a place to dump it, and others around them become the available
dump. But don’t take it personally just smile, wish them well and move on. Don’t
let their garbage and its smell spread form you to loved ones, work or others in
your life. Love those that treat you right, and pray for those who don’t. Life
is 10% of what you make it and the other 90% is how you relate to it. God has
too great of work for each one of us to get caught up in life’s garbage
dumps. Helping others with their personal
and spiritual garbage is worthy, but doesn’t require you to be their dump. If
others refuse truth, as Paul was referring, your next step does not require you
opening your life as a refuge for their garbage. Our job is to point or if need
be lead them to Christ who is willing and able to be their dump. You can only
provide directions, not the dump.
Consider
how much of what weighs you down is not yours to carry?
HSAY…
