Holding the Key

Some people call me passionate.  Some people call me reckless.  Some people say I don't think.  Some people think I'm crazy.  Some people love my adventures.  Some people hate my adventures.  Some people label me irresponsible.  Some people judge me.  Some people love me.  Some people know my humor.  Some people don't even try.  Some people call me disrespectful.  Some people try to control me.  Some people never say hi.  Some people like to hold me.  Some people always scold me.  Some people take advantage.  Some people try to be sly.  Some people accept me.  Some people love to lie.  Some people use me. Some people see right through me.  Some people truly move me.  Some people just don't know when to stop.

Life is about more than "some people".  I don't want to live for some people anymore, their expectations or their labels.  I want to live for Christ and make my decisions based on a life of holiness.  I think freedom from fear of man is knocking at my door...now only to figure out how to unlock it.

I think I have a few keys laying around, some even in my hand already.  I need to find what they are and use them to receive my prize.  Keys such as; who I live life with,  desiring holiness, living in love, never judging, etc...  There are keys to whatever box we put ourselves in, and we are the only ones who can use them.

There is action that we forget about.  Identifying what we need is great and necessary but I pray we do not stop there.  My prayer is that we would live for something that is much greater than ourselves and the usual people we try to please or disprove...there is only fear and captivity at the end of that trail.  Life should be full of laughter and peace through the ups and the downs!  It's just our choice to make it that way.  This has somehow turned into another post ending with the only phrase I know appropriate...

"Just choose it"
