Today I went to walk with my mum and we were talking about the people in our family. People who are related and we knew well and grew up with knowing them for years since my birth. We spoke how different each one of them were. They all had their own convictions in lots of areas which were offensive to others. All seemed to be so different that living together seems impossible.
But the fact is we cant alienate ourselves. We are created to live in a family and in fellowship with others. We live the best when we live in a community. But the point is we have to be clear who we are, what we believe in and be comfortable in our own skin. We also should know that we will never be able to please all the people around us.
We need to challenge ourselves to love and be friend with people who are different from us. We should not get offended and move into the shell. All we need to is to tolerate and accept the fact that all people are different and wishing everyone to be like us is wrong.
Let us first examine ourselves. Get to know us. Accept and befriend others with love.
Overcome insecurities by facing them with courage.
