There are 2 sets of RULES!

As we approach our lives, we begin to set rules in which make us comfortable to live by. They tend to dictate the way we react to each situation that we deal with. They are secure for us.They make us feel comfortable. We never imagine that they can be selfish. How can this be, they work for us, why would they not work for others. The problem should be self-evident, but it is not. We don't seem to realize that another will have there own set of rules too. And believe it or not, they are different from mine. So who is right? They are both right or, just mis-guided. Whenever we self-impose our ways on others we create conflict. If we prefer others over ourselves, the problems go away.! Now there is no conflict. Why is it important for us to be heard. Because it gives us value! The other day I was talking to my wife Leah, sharing my feelings on a matter. I could tell that she just was not tracking with me. She had various reasons why. All of which I thought she should be able to do and understand. Is it wrong to expect someone to hear you, expressing something important to you. I have done it a million times for you, was the statement that was going through my mind. under my rules. The goal is here is not to speak bad of my wife Leah, only to point out that there are 2 sets of rules we have established over the years and the right thing to do is die to my rules for living life and pursue and honor her, putting each and everything under the blood of Christ. There is real value here, not just a quick fix!
