Opinion

Do we know when to shut-up and just listen? Do we know when our opinion is needed or not? I would say “NO” most of us don’t. Why…because we think we know what’s best for others.

I had an “AH HA” moment…my niece would call me all the time when someone would make her mad, or upset her to where she couldn’t think straight. At first I would voice my opinion about the situation, but then God showed me some things, and made me realize that that was not why he placed me in her life. My position was to shut-up, listen, and let her know that she was special, and that God has a purpose for her life. My opinion about the situation didn’t matter. Let’s just say that when I became a Life Coach, things became a whole lot clearer.

GOD WILL SET YOU UP!!!

He put me through the test when she came to me and stated that she wasn’t sure that she had made a right decision. Lord knows I knew what I wanted for her, but I couldn’t and wouldn’t tell her that. I had to shut-up, listen, and let her know that whatever choice she made I would support her no matter what. Now here is the lesson…if I would have given her my opinion it may have been the wrong one, and I just might have interrupted the purpose God has for her life. Now do you see why we sometimes need to shut-up, listen, and support. You see the enemy will place people in your path that will voice their opinion, and it will take you away from the direction that God has for your life….YOUR PURPOSE. Now….did she make the right decision….that’s not up to me to decide, only God knows that.

It may not be what we think that person should be doing, but hey we ourselves are doing things today that others don’t think we should be doing. YES….you are.…so top saying you’re not. You’re not perfect, and you should thank God for that because if you were you wouldn’t need to seek him.

Whose opinion are you letting keep you from your purpose?

“GOD LOVES YOU”
