An Opinon
Filtered through our own experiences, emotions, belief system, and understanding
Regardless of skin color, gender, religion
Everyone has an opinion
Politics - Separation of Church and State - Abortion - Marriage - Health Care - Sports - Parenting - Coaches - Minimum Wage - College - Homeschool - GOD - Religion - Vaccinations - Chicken - Organic Foods - Drinking - Video Games - Electronics - GMO's - Marijuana - Fast Food - Outfits - Speech - Occupations - Pumpkin Spice Anything - Coffee - Worship
The list could go on and on...
But after a conversation with a very wise friend
I've been convicted
Because this thing I have felt all my life entitled to have
I realize is not a right
And maybe it's not right at all?
Because we're created uniquely
Gifted purposefully
For the building up of each other and for unity
But opinions divide
ONE
If I've choose this One Lord to be over all, through all, in all
Alive in me
Then I choose His truth
And that's all
HE is a God of Unity and Truth
In Him there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female - we are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28)
And we don't get our own opinion
We get HIS
HIS Spirit
And His grace
Empowering us
Guiding us
Helping us to understand
We're not entitled to an opinion
But we have a choice
"If serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..." Joshua 24:15
And I choose HIM
My opinion's really not that great anyway

O Jamie!! I just recently had this conversation with my husband! At first I admit that I was offended. Because how could someone say that I wasn't really entitled to my opinion on everything? But then, he explained what he meant and I got it. I really got it. I don't need to have my opinion, I just need to seek after greater intimacy with our Lord & Savior. Thankful we are not on this journey alone! So happy to see this post in the Christian Mommy Blogger community.
Blessings on you!
Julie
