What is power? Wrote about this before, but what is it? Teachers have a power, to pass or fail someone. Bosses have power to fire you or promote you.
That is a power. There is real power though, that lasts deeper and longer than these things. I've abused power given me. I've abused it to hurt the one I love, and those I work with. I've taken it as if it was my birthright and used it like a spoiled child. Thorough words and Atkins power has been misused. Am I ashamed? Is the sun hot? (that would be a heck yeah).
Words have power, sometimes it's in something as simple as a guy asking whether or not you thought it was worth buying something or not. Other times, it is used to manipulate, change, destroy, mislead, hurt, help, heal, guide, you. This is a deeper stronger power.
Why am I thinking this? I don't want power, I'm too scared I'm gonna mess up with it. I got scared recently cause this one guy I met in class, he was asking my thoughts on buying something and I barely know him. Advice on stuff. Or times I had power over peers or seniors health ..... Do people really understand how powerful and scary being told how an infection can truly hurt someone is?
It also means power is given, I've had people make fun of me and stuff, but it meant nothing cause I didn't let it have power over me...... At the same time, a couple words from someone I trusted or such, and I'm a wreck of a person.
I don't want that for anyone.
God help us. This is just random, but hopefully it makes sense, to be careful. Please don't make the same mistakes I have and do make.
Luke 22:6
Peace, love, smile, joy......
God in heaven there is nothing in this world worth hurting anyone. Why do we do it then? What's the point? I got no real answer, just a request. That we look not for power, but to serve. Iour hearts, that's the only way we can truly survive. That is the true equalizer of power. Dang it, I hope that came out right. I dunno, please give reconciliation somehow. Be with her, the family and this class. It's a lot of stuff and too easy to fall. By Your son's name.
